s
swinstall(1M) swinstall(1M)
If set to false, dependencies are still checked, but not enforced. Corequisite dependen-
cies, if not enforced, may keep the selected software from working properly. Prerequisite
dependencies, if not enforced, may cause the installation or configuration to fail.
enforce_dsa=true
Prevents the command from proceeding past the analysis phase if the disk space required
is beyond the available free space of the impacted filesystem(s). If set to
false, the
install or copy operation uses the filesystem’s minfree space and may fail because it
reaches the filesystem’s absolute limit.
enforce_kernbld_failure=true
(Applies only to swinstall.) Prevents
swinstall from proceeding past the kernel
build phase if the kernel build processes fail. If set to
false, the install operation con-
tinues (without suspension if in the interactive mode) despite failure or warnings from
either the system preparation process or the kernel build process.
When set to the default value of
true, this option generates an error if a command tries
to relocate a non-relocatable fileset. (Relocatable filesets are packaged with the
is_relocatable
attribute set to true). When set to false, the usual error han-
dling process is overridden, and SD permits the command to relocate the fileset.
enforce_scripts=true
Controls the handling of errors generated by scripts. If true, and a script returns an
error, an error message appears reporting that the execution phase failed. If false,
swinstall attempts to continue operation. A warning message appears saying that the
analysis or execution phase succeeded. The message identifies the specific swinstall
phase (checkinstall, preinstall, postinstall, or configure).
enforce_selections=false
Controls the behavior of swinstall and swcopy commands by checking the
software_selections
available in the source.
If set to
false, swinstall and swcopy commands proceeds if one or more software
selections are available in the source.
If set to
true, the swinstall and swcopy commands proceeds only if all the software
selections are available in the source.
installed_software_catalog=products
(Applies only to swinstall.) Defines the directory path where the Installed Products
Database (IPD) is stored. This information describes installed software. When set to an
absolute path, this option defines the location of the IPD. When this option contains a
relative path, the SD controller appends the value to the value specified by the
admin_directory option to determine the path to the IPD. For alternate roots, this
path is resolved relative to the location of the alternate root. This option does not affect
where software is installed, only the IPD location.
This option permits the simultaneous installation and removal of multiple software appli-
cations by multiple users or multiple processes, with each application or group of applica-
tions using a different IPD.
Caution: use a specific
installed_software_catalog to manage a specific applica-
tion. SD does not support multiple descriptions of the same application in multiple IPDs.
See also the
admin_directory and run_as_superuser
options, which control SD’s
nonprivileged mode. (This mode is intended only for managing applications that are spe-
cially designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to manage the HP-UX operat-
ing system or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software
Distributor Administration Guide, available at the
http://www.hp.com/go/sd-
docs web site.)
job_title=
This is an ASCII string giving a title to a job. It is displayed along with the job ID to pro-
vide additional identifying information about a job when swjob or sd is invoked. The
default value is to have no title. If a title is specified, it should be enclosed in quotes.
layout_version=1.0
(Applies only to swcopy.) Specifies the POSIX layout_version to which the SD
commands conform when writing distributions and swlist output. Supported values
