Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

Resolution
SD-UX gives you several restart options:
• Re-execute the same command from the command line.
• Recall the session file swinstall.last that was automatically saved for you.
(See “Session Files” (page 52).)
• Reset the checkpointing options.
By default, SD-UX checkpoints to the fileset level, meaning that the operation will
start transferring files with the last fileset to be attempted. By setting the
reinstall_files option to false, SD-UX restarts distribution and installation
with the file that was last attempted. (SD-UX does not support checkpointing below
the file level.)
You can override all checkpointing by setting both the reinstall and
reinstall_files options to true. See Appendix A (page 303) for more
information.
B.2.12 swinstall or swremove Fails With a Lock Error
swinstall or swremove fails with the following message:
Cannot lock “/” because another command holds a conflicting lock.
The process id of that command is ####.
Resolution
Another SD command is running that prevents the swinstall or swremove command
from running. Wait for that command to finish and try again.
B.2.13 Use of Square Brackets ([ and ]) Around an IPv6 Address Causes an Error
Commands such as swinstall, swlist, and so on used with IPv6 address enclosed
in square brackets, fail with an error.
For example:
swlist @ [2620:0:a07:e020:21a:4bff:fef3:90e8], fails with the following
error:
# Initializing...
ERROR: Could not contact host "a". Make sure the hostname is correct
and an absolute pathname is specified (beginning with "/").
Resolution
Type stty to see if the [ or ] character is mapped to any other function on your system.
If it is mapped to any other function, then remove or change the mapping, or use \[
and \].
