Known Problems and Workarounds

is in /etc/inetd.conf:

registrar stream tcp nowait root \

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/registrar \

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/registrar

After you have conﬁrmed both registrar requirements, reconﬁgure

inetd by executing:

inetd -c

— Add the /etc/services ﬁle to the lookup path your name lookup

service uses. For example, modify the nsswitch.conf ﬁle to refer

to /etc/services if you are running NIS.

Problems Installing Software that Depends on EMS

• What is the problem? Running swinstall (1M) when installing

products such as HA Monitors, ServiceGuard and other products that

have a dependency on EMS.

It is possible that the product you are installing might include an

older version of EMS than the one that is installed on your system.

If you have installed EMS software with a later version number than

the version you are trying to install, you may see errors similar to the

following in the swinstall logﬁle, /var/adm/sw/swagent.log:

ERROR A later revision (one with a higher

revision number) of fileset

EMS-Core.EMS-CORE,r=A.03.10 has already

been installed. Either remove this fileset

or change the allow_downdate option to

true.

• What is the workaround? If this occurs, choose to ignore the error

messages, change the Enforce Dependency Analysis Errors

option to False, and proceed with the installation.

NOTE Do not use -x allow_downdate=true as suggested by the errormessage.

This would over-write ﬁlesets installed on the system with older ﬁlesets

from the install media.
