manpage.
SD-UX Roles
Within your environment, an individual system can play one or more
SD-UX roles: development host, local host, or network host (distribution
depot). The SD-UX command determines the specific role a host plays
and therefore its role can change at any time.
Software is created on the development environment and individual
filesets are “packaged” for further distribution. The SD-UX swpackage
command prepares software products and filesets so they can be easily
distributed and managed by other SD-UX commands.
A local host is any system where software is to be installed or managed.
