Veritas NBU Installation on HPUX

I was getting stuck at this message while trying to install a Veritas Net Backup Agent on an HPUX box.
Can't call method "info" on an undefined value at VxIF/4.2.2.12/VxIF/Installer.pm line 231

Googling suggested that it was an issue with the hostname resolution. The hostname looked fine in /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf but the script still gave errors. Finally I set the hostname using
uname -S hostname
and the thing worked :)
