* Solution
Check if your /etc/hosts file has error, correct it if so.

For example, if your hosts file is like below

127.0.0.1 loopback localhost myhostname
10.10.10.1 myhostname

Change it to

127.0.0.1 loopback localhost
10.10.10.1 myhostname

Then restart the swagentd using "swagentd -r" command.

And run the swinstall again.
For example; swinstall -s $PWD/tusc-8.0-ia64-11.31.depot \*
