sw_source = src-tag-string

Speciﬁes the sw_source from which this software selection is to be installed. The

src-tag-string must match the tag string used when deﬁning the source. This is a required

attribute of a sw_sel.

sw_category [+]= cat-tag-string

Speciﬁes the software category with which this software selection is to be grouped. Using

the "+=" operator allows for placing the sw_sel into multiple categories.

archive_path = cplx-string

Speciﬁes the ﬁle path to the associated tar/cpio/pax archive. This is only used when

the associated sw_source sets source_format=ARCHIVE. If the sw_source

uses the nfs_server access method, this path must be relative to the NFS mount

point. For ftp_source or remsh_source access methods, the path may be rela-

tive to the given account’s home directory, or an absolute path if desired.

If source_type="MT" then the archive_path may be a quoted number string,

which is used to position the tape device prior to extracting the data. This would provide

the number argument to the command: mt fsf number, where number is the number

of ﬁles to skip from the beginning of the tape. Typically archive_path is "1" for

PA-RISC tapes and "22" for Itanium® tapes. Note that for Itanium® tapes

archive_path is actually ignored for archive extraction and the archive is located

using tape label information (see ansitape(1M)).

If source_type="DSK" then archive_path is used to access an archive on the

CD when mounted as a ﬁle system. In this case, archive_path must be a path rela-

tive to the top directory of the CD.

When using an archive to contain the core HP-UX operating system (a full system

archive), the archive must be packaged using relative path names. This allows Ignite-UX

to extract it to the mounted disk. In addition, the load_order of the sw_source must

be set to 0 (zero). Non-core operating system archives may be packaged using either rel-

ative or absolute path names.

archive_type = [{compressed|gzip}] {tar|cpio|pax}

Speciﬁes the type of archive that archive_path references. The archive may be an

uncompressed tar, cpio,orpax archive, or may be compressed using either com-

press or gzip. The compression type, if speciﬁed, may be either of the keywords

compressed or gzip. The second keyword must be tar, cpio,orpax. The pax

option is only supported for the B.11.23 release and later. For example:

archive_type = gzip tar.

If source_type="MT" the archive will be extracted with a block size dependent on

the archive type. If the archive_type is tar, the block size will be 10240 bytes. If

the archive_type is either cpio or pax, the block size will be 5120 bytes.

sd_software_list = cplx-string

Speciﬁes a list of SD software objects (bundles, products, ﬁlesets, etc.) that are to be

installed using the swinstall,orswm (on HP-UX B.11.31 or later) command. One or

more software objects may be speciﬁed.

impacts = directory number

impacts += directory number

Use to specify the amount of disk space impact the associated software has on the given

directory. Multiple impacts statements may be speciﬁed. Normally there is one state-

ment for each top-level directory into which the software is installed. However, the direc-

tory level may be more speciﬁc if desired. If the = operator is used, any previous num-

ber assigned for directory speciﬁed for this sw_sel is replaced. If the += operator is

used, the number speciﬁed is added to any prior number speciﬁed for the given directory

associated with this sw_sel.
