The Runtime subproduct contains all the filesets in the
MinimumRuntime subproduct as well as some
additional filesets.
Examples of filesets are:
Networking.LAN-KRN
Networking.LAN-PRG
Networking.LAN-RUN
Networking.SLIP-RUN
These filesets are all part of both bundles,
HPUXEngCR700 and HPUXEngRT700.
The first three are included in both the subproducts,
Networking.Runtime and
Networking.MinimumRuntime
The last one is only part of Networking.Runtime.
SD-UX commands refer to this product structure in the form:
bundle[.] or product[.[subproduct.]fileset]
Location of Software
Software, packaged in SD-format, is stored in a depot. Any system can
store one or more depots. A depot is a repository which holds all the
needed pieces for installation of the software. You create a depot by
copying software directly to it (using the SD-UX swcopy command) from
either a tape or CD-ROM or by creating a software package within it
(using the swpackage command). Before you can use the depot you must
register it (using the swreg command). It can then be used as the source
for installation tasks with the swinstall command which is executed on
the target machine.
There are two types of depots:
Directory Depot Software in a directory depot is stored under a normal
directory on your file system (by default
/var/spool/sw).
When using the SD-UX commands, refer to a directory
depot via its top most directory. In a CD-ROM depot,
the directory would be the CD-ROM’s mount point.
