Use these keywords specify a shell script to be loaded from the Ignite-UX server using
tftp
and executed at the prescribed points during the installation. See the Command and Script
Execution Hooks section for details.
sw_category cat-tag-string
{ description = string }
Use the sw_category definition to provide a grouping mechanism for
sw_sel definitions to
reference. The UI uses the
sw_category to help you browse the software more easily. There are
six values of cat-tag-string that the UI treats specially. Software in these groups is represented in
special locations and by special methods in the UI. These values are:
"HPUXBaseOS", "HPUXEn-
vironments", "Languages", "LanguagesUI", "OpEnvironments", and "UserLi-
censes".
The only attribute associated with a
sw_category is a description.
sw_sel sel-tag-string
{ selection-attributes
}
init sw_sel sel-tag-string
= boolean
init sw_sel sel-tag-string
= PARTIAL
Use the
sw_sel keyword to define a software selection for installation. A software selection typi-
cally refers to an SD bundle or a single
tar/cpio/pax archive. Each sw_sel must reference a
sw_source, which provides the information needed to access the actual software. A
sw_sel may
be selected or unselected in the configuration file by using the
init keyword and setting it to a
boolean value (see EXAMPLES). If the
init
keyword is not used in an assignment, the UI is not
able to change the value. A
sw_sel may be assigned the value "PARTIAL" to indicate that it is to
be selected but that no also_select references within the sw_sel definition should be selected
or unselected. When a sw_sel that has also_select references is set to a boolean value, then
all sw_sel items it references with an also_select statement are also selected (when the
sw_sel is true) or unselected (when the sw_sel is false).
The sel-tag-string is used to reference the
sw_sel in subsequent assignments. It is possible to
assign multiple tag strings to a single
sw_sel in order to provide aliases for a single selection. In
this case, any tag may be used when referencing it within a configuration file. The syntax for speci-
fying multiple tags is:
sw_sel tag1 | tag2 | ...{selection-attributes
}
The selection-attributes that may be specified for a
sw_sel are described below as follows:
description = cplx-string
Provides a one-line description of the software to be displayed along with the tag string or the
display_name.
display_name = cplx-string
Specifies a more descriptive name than sel-tag-string for the UI to display as the product name
for a non-
HPUXEnvironments
category sw_sel.ForanHPUXEnvironments category
sw_sel, it is displayed as the environment description.
sw_source = src-tag-string
Specifies the sw_source from which this software selection is to be installed. The src-tag-
string must match the tag string used when defining the source. This is a required attribute of
a sw_sel.
sw_category [+]= cat-tag-string
Specifies the software category with which this software selection is to be grouped. Using the
"+=" operator allows for placing the sw_sel into multiple categories.
archive_path = cplx-string
Specifies the file path to the associated tar/cpio/pax archive. This is only used when the
associated sw_source sets source_format=ARCHIVE. If the sw_source uses the
nfs_source access method, this path must be relative to the NFS mount point. For
ftp_source or remsh_source access methods, the path may be relative to the given
account’s home directory, or an absolute path if desired.
If
source_type="MT" then the archive_path may be a quoted number string, which is
used to position the tape device prior to extracting the data. This would provide the number
argument to the command: mt fsf number, where number is the number of files to skip from
the beginning of the tape. Typically archive_path is "1" for PA-RISC tapes and "22"
for Itanium tapes. Note that for Itanium tapes archive_path is actually ignored for
archive extraction and the archive is located using tape label information (see ansitape (1M)).
