The software source specifies an SD depot or an access method to an archive. The src-tag-string is
used by
sw_sel to identify which sw_source is applicable. The attributes that may be within a
sw_source clause are:
description = cplx_string
Provides a description, typically one line, of the source contents. This is used to provide feed-
back to you.
source_type = "NET" | "MT" | "DSK"
Used to override the default source type, which corresponds to the type of media from which
the client was booted. The source type strings are: network ( magnetic-tape ( and CD/DVD (
Regardless of the boot sources, the default source_type is "NET" if an Ignite-UX server is
being used, which may be overridden by this keyword.
source_format = SD | ARCHIVE | CMD
Specifies the general format of the source. This determines which information in the
sw_source is used when accessing the source. The default is CMD.
When set to
SD, and source_type is NET, the swinstall,or swm (on HP-UX B.11.31 or
later) command is used to load from the specified sd_server and sd_depot_dir.If
nfs_source is defined, then access to the depot is done via an NFS mount. The
/etc/exports (or /etc/dfs/dfstab
on B.11.31) file can specify read-only permissions
to aid in security. In addition, the unknown user effective user must be set to root (0). This
usage is not supported on B.11.11 due to various NFS issues. This usage is not supported for
B.11.23 depots due to various SD issues. If
source_type is MT, and the tape contains a LIF
volume a the beginning, the swinstall command expects to find the depot as the third file
on the tape.
As of the HP-UX B.11.31 release, the
swm command is used to load software, and it does not
support installing from a tape containing a LIF boot volume. Because bootable tapes for
Itanium-based systems do not contain a LIF boot volume, swinstall will not expect to
find a depot on the tape. For Itanium-based systems, and for B.11.31 or later releases, a
second tape containing the depot will be needed. When using a second tape for the depot the
change_media keyword should be set to true.
When set to
ARCHIVE, and source_type is NET, either the ftp_source,
remsh_source,or nfs_source keywords must be supplied and any sw_sels that refer
to this source must specify an archive_path.
When set to
CMD, only the specified *_cmd,*_script, and *_kernel keywords are used
and executed at the appropriate time. This allows for a customized method of loading the
represented software or for setting kernel parameters.
source_path = cplx_string
Sets this keyword to the default device file path to access the tape or CD for non-network
sources. If not specified, it will default to the device from which it was booted.
change_media = boolean
Setting this keyword indicates whether Ignite-UX should prompt you to change media before
loading this source for non-network sources. The description information is used in the
prompt so you know which media to insert.
sd_server = cplx_string
Sets the IP address of the SD (swinstall,or swm) server to use when
source_format=SD. This value overrides the global sd_server keyword when loading
from this source. This keyword is ignored if nfs_source is defined.
