The software source specifies an SD depot or an access method to an archive. The src-tag-string
is used by sw_sel to identify which sw_source is applicable. The attributes that may be
within a sw_source clause are:
description = cplx_string
Provides a description, typically one line, of the source contents. This is used to provide
feedback to you.
source_type = "NET" | "MT" | "DSK"
Used to override the default source type, which corresponds to the type of media from
which the client was booted. The source type strings are: network ("NET"), magnetic-
tape ("MT"), and CD/DVD ("DSK"). Regardless of the boot sources, the default
source_type is "NET" if an Ignite-UX server is being used, which may be overrid-
den by this keyword.
source_format = SD | ARCHIVE | CMD
Specifies the general format of the source. This determines which information in the
sw_source clauses used when accessing the source. The default is CMD.
When set to SD, and source_type is NET, the swinstall,orswm (on HP-UX
B.11.31 or later) command is used to load from the specified sd_server and
sd_depot_dir.Ifsource_type is MT, and the tape contains a LIF volume a the
beginning, the swinstall command expects to find the depot as the third file on the
tape.
As of the HP-UX B.11.31 release, the swm command is used to load software, and it
does not support installing from a tape containing a LIF boot volume. Because bootable
tapes for Itanium®-based systems do not contain a LIF boot volume, swinstall will
not expect to find a depot on the tape. For Itanium®-based systems, and for B.11.31 or
later releases, a second tape containing the depot will be needed. When using a second
tape for the depot the change_media keyword should be set to true.
When set to ARCHIVE, and source_type is NET, either the ftp_source,
remsh_source,ornfs_source keywords must be supplied and any sw_sels that
refer to this source must specify an archive_path.
When set to CMD, only the specified *_cmd,*_script, and *_kernel keywords are
used and executed at the appropriate time. This allows for a customized method of load-
ing the represented software or for setting kernel parameters.
