Fixing swlist RPC errors on HP-UX

In your swagentd.log file you may see the following:

ERROR: Invalid protocol sequence specified as part of the
"rpc_binding_info=" configuration option.
ERROR: Terminating prematurely - cannot serve Remote Procedure Call
requests.

Which will cause swlist and swinstall to fail because the agent cannot start properly. This is a fairly maddening error because you are unable to install or list the software that is on your box. In order to fix this error:

In /var/adm/sw/defaults:

pc_binding_info=ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]

Then you should be able to restart your swagentd daemon which will then allow you to communicate properly to list your software and do installs. I searched around for quite a bit over this one, but finally found this fix. Hope this helps.
