swinstall could fail with a message like below:
ERROR: Could not access remote file ...
due to an internal error on the remote system.
This problem is likely caused by a problem in the DNS
setup. swinstall needs to be able to perform a reverse
DNS lookup.
If the reverse lookup results in a different host name
then swinstall seems to assume it installs to a
remote system.
It is worth checking that the host name and the resolving
through the IP address actually result in the same
host name (possibly fully qualified).
You possibly need to restart swagentd.
As an alternative setting the swinstall option
All targets to resolve the source locally
seems to avoid the problem.
