Appendix A440
• kernel_path=/stand/vmunix
The path to the system’s bootable kernel. It is passed to the
kernel_build_cmd via the SW_KERNEL_PATH environment variable.
Applies only to swagent.
• layout_version=1.0
Specifies the POSIX layout version to which the SD-UX commands
conform when writing distributions and swlist output. Supported
values are 1.0 (default) and 0.8. SD-UX for HP-UX version 11.10 and
later can read or write either version.
SD-UX object and attribute syntax conforms to layout version 1.0 of
the IEEE Standard 1387.2, Software Administration (POSIX).
SD-UX still accepts the keyword names associated with the older
layout version, but you should only use layout version 0.8 to create
distributions readable by older versions of SD-UX.
Layout version 1.0 adds significant functionality not recognized by
systems supporting only version 0.8, including:
— Category class objects (formerly the category and
category_title attributes within the bundle or product class).
— Patch-handling attributes, including applied_patches,
is_patch, and patch_state.
— The fileset architecture attribute at the fileset level, which
permits you to specify the architecture of the target system on
which the software will run.
In addition to adding new attributes and objects, layout version 1.0
changes the following preexisting 0.8 objects and attributes:
— Replaces the depot media_sequence_number attribute for the
media object with a sequence number attribute.
— Replaces the vendor definition within products and bundles with
a vendor_tag attribute and a corresponding vendor object
defined outside the product or bundle.
— Pluralizes the corequisite and prerequisite fileset attributes.
— Changes the timestamp attribute to mod_time.
Applies to swcopy, swlist, swmodify and swpackage.
