Hi,

I'm trying to install Software on HP-UX 11. Following error occurs
using swinstall:-

"hpdev2:/": This target or source is already in use either within
this same session or by another session. A read or write lock was
denied.

Please help me understand the error and install the software.

Regards
Sunil

Just kill swagentd and restart and you should be ok.

1. Quit your current swinstall session.

2. Get the output from "ps -ef | grep swagent", you will see (hopefully)
one swagentd and a possibly some swagent processes.

3. If there are any swagent processes, kill them

4. Stop swagentd with "/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop"

5. Remove the file "/var/adm/sw/products/swlock", if it exists.

6. Restart swagentd with "/sbin/init.d/swagentd start"
