last_install configuration
already exists Warning
During an update to HP-UX 11i v2, the following warning
may appear in your swagent.log:
WARNING: The configuration named 'last_install'
already exists.
NOTE: Continuing since -f flag was specified.
* Please wait: flushing kernel registry database
to disk.
* The current configuration has been saved to
'last_install'.* The title of the configuration
'last_install' has
been set to "Created by last OS install".
This problem is caused by the kernel configuration tools
attempting to save a copy of the newly updated system
configuration to /stand/last_install. Because a previous
version of the configuration already exists from the
previous install or update, a warning is issued.
You can safely ignore this warning. The kernel
configuration tools overwrite the previous configuration
with the latest version, as expected.
