This target or source is already in use either within this same session or by another session

Solution:
#[/var/adm/sw/products]: ls -lrt|grep swlock
-r--r--r--   1 root       sys              0 Jun 23  2005 swlock


#[/var/adm/sw/products]: mv swlock swlock.bk
#[/var/adm/sw/products]: cd -
/sbin/init.d
#[/sbin/init.d]: /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
The swagentd daemon is stopped.
#[/sbin/init.d]: /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

Which solved the issue
