Software Distributor Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i

Command Options
Options Listed Alphabetically
Appendix A 445
• max_targets=25
When set to a positive integer, this option limits the number of
concurrent install or copy operations to the number specified. As
each copy or install operation completes, another target is selected
and started until all targets are completed.
Server and network performance determines the optimal setting; a
recommended starting point is 25 (the default value). If you set this
option to a value of less than one, SD-UX attempts to install or copy
to all targets at once.
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
• media_capacity=1330
If creating a distribution tape or multiple-directory media such as a
CD-ROM, this keyword specifies the capacity of the tape in one
million byte units (not Mbytes). This option is required if the media
is not a DDS tape or a disk file. Without this option, swpackage sets
the size to the default of 1,330 million bytes for tape or to the amount
of free space on the disk up to minfree for a disk file.
SD-UX uses the same format across multiple directory media as it
does for multiple serial media, including calculations of the correct
size based partitioning of filesets and setting of the
media_sequence_number attributes.
Applies only to swpackage.
• media_type=directory
Defines the type of distribution to create. The recognized types are
directory and tape. Without this option, swpackage creates a
distribution directory (depot) by default.
Applies only to swpackage.
• minimum_job_polling_interval=1
Defines how often, in minutes, the daemon will “wake up” and scan
the job queue to determine if any scheduled jobs need to be initiated
or if any active jobs need their remote target status cached locally.
If set to 0, no scheduled jobs will be initiated, and no caching of active
jobs will occur.
Applies only to swagentd.
