switches
The switch is unable to obtain a lock
on switch ${switch}. Another
command is running.
1. Check listavailable -s to see
if another switch command might
be updating the configuration.
2. If the switch in question does not
appear, check for the existence of
the lock file directly by typing ls
-la /opt/SUNWsecfg/etc (look
for .switch.lock).
3. If the lock is set in error, use the
removelocks -s command to
clear it.
Due to a non-reentrant interface, there
is a single lock file for all switches.
Only one can be accessed at a time.
