Author SAM not installed by default on 11.0?

See subject line. Perhaps I'm not finding it or it's not in the search path.
Also, man pages don't seem to be working either. Also, any pointers
on the facility for adding packages on HP-UX. I'm a Solaris and AIX
admin by trade, so this HP-UX stuff is new to me. This is a personal system
(HP 9000/800 I40 Nova). Have been impressed by the LVM so far, though.

Thanks,

Hi,

sam is always installed. Perhaps /usr/sbin is not in your path.
All commands related to product management are in /usr/sbin and begin with
sw* (swlist, swinstall, ...).

See also http://www.itrc.hp.com and http://www.docs.hp.com/

No "sam" in /usr/sbin. swinstall says "cannot contact host 'atlantis'" which
is the
hostname of the local machine.

Perhaps the install didn't finish correctly?

Check that atlantis is actually in /etc/hosts. Use ping and nslookup
to check status of name resolution. Alternatively, try using the IP
address (in dot notation).

Check that the SD deamon (swagentd) is actually running.

This is all very odd... here's what i have

# tail -2 /etc/hosts
10.0.0.73 atlantis
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

# ps -ef | grep -i swag
root 1870 1860 3 15:32:50 pts/ta 0:00 grep -i swag
root 1071 1 0 Dec 12 ? 0:12 /usr/sbin/swagentd -r

Hmmm... it was an error in /etc/resolv.conf

All problems fixed with a reinstall of HP-UX.

Thanks for all the help!
