Hi all,

Anyone seen this error on HP UX?

When I run

swlist -l bundle

or swlist -l patch

# Initializing...

# Contacting target "hostname"...

ERROR: Internal Error 202 in function "IC\_TargetSoftwareGet".

Only got the error after I patched it, worked fine before and not much on google on it either

Ensure the "hostname" is correct and ping-able.

```plaintext
h=$(hostname)
echo "hostname is $h"
grep -w "$h" /etc/hosts
ping "$h"

```
