(Hewlett-Packard Company)
If set to ask=true,orask=as_needed, you can use the -c catalog option to specify
the pathname of an exported catalog to store copies of the response file or files created by
the request script.
See swask(1M) for more information on request scripts.
autoreboot=false
(Applies only to swinstall.) Prevents the installation of software requiring a reboot
from the non-interactive interface. If set to true, this software can be installed and the
target system(s) will be automatically rebooted.
An interactive session always asks for confirmation before software requiring a reboot is
installed.
autorecover=false
This option permits automatic recovery of original filesets if an installation error occurs.
The cost is a temporary increase in disk space and slower performance. The default value of
false causes swinstall to remove the original files as a fileset is updated. If an error
occurs during the installation (e.g. network failure), then the original files are lost, and you
must reinstall the fileset.
If set to true, all files are saved as backup copies until the current fileset finishes loading.
If an error occurs during installation, the fileset’s original files are replaced, and
swin-
stall
continues to the next fileset in the product or the product postinstall script.
When set to
true, this option also affects scripts. For example, if a preinstall script fails,
this option causes the corresponding unpreinstall script to execute. See Software Distribu-
tor Administration Guide for complete information.
autorecover_product=false
(Applies only to swinstall.) This option permits automatic recovery of original product
files if an installation error occurs. The cost is a temporary increase in disk space and
slower performance. The default value of false causes swinstall to remove any
existing product files as a product is updated. If an error occurs during installation (e.g.
network failure), then the original files are lost, and you must reinstall the product.
If set to true, all files for a product are saved as backup copies until the entire product
finishes loading. Then the files are removed. If an error occurs during installation, the ori-
ginal product files are replaced, and swinstall exits.
When set to true, this option also affects scripts. For example, if a preinstall script fails,
this option causes the corresponding unpreinstall script to execute. See Software Distribu-
tor Administration Guide for complete information.
autoremove_job=false
Controls automatic job removal of completed jobs. If the job is automatically removed, job
information (job status or target logfiles) cannot be queried with swjob.
autoselect_dependencies=true
Automatically select dependencies when software is being selected. When set to true, and
any software which has dependencies is selected for install, swinstall or swcopy
makes sure that the dependencies are met. If they are not already met, they are automati-
cally selected for you. If set to false, automatic selections are not made to resolve
requisites. When set to as_needed, autoselected dependencies are operated only if the
dependency is not already met on the target.
autoselect_patches=true
Automatically selects the latest patches (based on superseding and ancestor attributes) for
a software object that a user selects for a swinstall or swcopy operation. When set to
false, the patches corresponding to the selected object, are not automatically selected.
The patch_filter= option can be used in conjunction with autoselect_patches
.
autoselect_reference_bundles=true
If true, bundles that are sticky are automatically installed or copied, along with the
software it is made up of. If false, the software can be installed, or copied, without
automatically includingsticky bundles that contain it.
codeword=
Provides the "codeword" needed to unlock protected HP CD-ROM software.
