mount_all_filesystems=true
Attempt to mount all filesystems in the
/etc/fstab file at the beginning of the analysis
phase, to ensure that all listed filesystems are mounted before proceeding. This policy
helps to ensure that files are not loaded into a directory that may be below a future
mount point.
If set to
false, the mount operation is not attempted, and no check of the current
mounts is performed.
os_name (Applies only to swinstall.) This option can be used in conjunction with
os_release to specify the desired OS name during an HP-UX update. The
os_name
option should only be specified from the command line. Refer to the SD
readme file for
correct syntax. You can display the
readme file by entering:
swlist -a readme -l product SW-DIST
os_release
(Applies only to swinstall.) This option can be used in conjunction with
os_name to
specify the desired OS release during an HP-UX update. The
os_release option
should only be specified from the command line. Refer to the SD
readme file for correct
syntax. You can display the
readme
file by entering:
swlist -a readme -l product SW-DIST
patch_filter=software_specification
This option can be used in conjunction with the autoselect_patches
or
patch_match_target
options to filter the selected patches to meet the criteria
specified by software_specification . The default value of this option is
*.*.
If multiple targets are specified, the first target in the list is used as the basis for patch
selections.
patch_match_target=false
If set to true, this option selects the latest patches (software identified by the
is_patch=true attribute) that correspond to software on the target root or depot. If multi-
ple targets are specified, the first target in the list is used as the basis for patch selec-
tions.
The
patch_filter= option can be used in conjunction with
patch_match_target.
patch_save_files=true
(Applies only to swinstall) Saves the original versions of files modified by patches,
which permits the future rollback of a patch. Patched files are saved to
/var/adm/sw/save. When set to
false, patches cannot be rolled back (removed)
unless the base software modified by the patch is removed at the same time.
To commit a patch by removing the corresponding saved files, use the
swmodify
command’s patch_commit option.
polling_interval=2
Defines the polling interval, in seconds, used by the interactive GUI or TUI of the con-
troller. It specifies how often each target agent is polled to obtain status information
about the task being performed. When operating across wide-area networks, the polling
interval can be increased to reduce network overhead.
preserve_create_time=false
(Applies only to swcopy.) Preserves the original create time when you copy depots,
which produces consistent results when you use the copies. The default of false sets
the create_time of software bundles, products, and filesets equal to the time the
object was created in the depot. When set to true, the create_time of software bun-
dles, products, and filesets is set to that specified in the source depot. Note that using
this option when copying to a master depot can change the objects that are visible when
you use the create_time_filter option.
recopy=false
(Applies only to swcopy.) Do not copy a fileset that is already available on the target at
the same version. If recopy=true, copy the fileset in any case.
register_new_depot=true
(Applies only to swcopy.) Causes swcopy to register a newly created depot with the
