(Hewlett-Packard Company)
software_view=all_bundles
Indicates the software view to be used as the default level for the software listing in the
GUI. It can be set to all_bundles , products, or a bundle category tag (to indicate to
show only bundles of that category).
source=
Specify a source to automatically bypass the GUI and CLI source selection dialog box. This
has the same effect as the -ssource command line option. Specify the source using the fol-
lowing syntax.
[path]
source_cdrom=/SD_CDROM
Defines the default location of the source CD-ROM using the syntax [host]:[path].
source_tape=/dev/rmt/0m
Defines the default location of the source tape, usually the character-special file of a local
tape device. You can also use the [host]:[path] syntax, but the host must match the local
host. The -s option overrides this value. (Note that SD can read both tar and cpio
tape depots.)
source_type=directory
Defines the default source type: cdrom, directory ,ortape. The source type derived
from the
-s option overrides this value. (SD can read both tar and cpio tape depots.)
targets=
Defines the default target_selections. There is no supplied default (see
select_local
above). If there is more than one target selection, they must be separated by spaces.
uncompress_files=false
(Applies only to swcopy.) If set to true, files being transferred from a source are
uncompressed before swcopy store them on the target depot.
use_alternate_source=false
Empowers each target agent to use its own, configured alternate source, instead of the one
specified by the user. If false, each target agent uses the same source (the source
specified by the user and validated by the command). If true, each target agent uses its
own configured value for the source.
verbose=1
Controls the verbosity of the output (stdout). A value of
0 disablesoutput to stdout. (Error and warning messages are always written to stderr).
1 enables verbose messaging to stdout.
write_remote_files=false
Prevents the installation or copying of files to a target which exists on a remote filesystem.
All files destined for a remote filesystem are skipped.
If set to true and if the superuser has write permission on the remote filesystem, the
remote files are installed or copied.
Session File
Each invocation of the swinstall or swcopy command defines an installation or copy session. The
invocation options, source information, software selections, and target hosts are saved before the installa-
tion or copy task actually commences. This lets you re-execute the command even if the session ends
before proper completion.
Each session is saved to the file $HOME/.sw/sessions/swinstall{swcopy}.last
. This file is
overwritten by each invocation of
swinstall or swcopy.
You can also save session information from interactive or command-line sessions. From an interactive ses-
sion, you can save session information into a file at any time by selecting the Save Session or Save Session
As option from the File menu. From a command-line session, you can save session information by execut-
ing swinstall or swcopy with the -C session__file option.
A session file uses the same syntax as the defaults files. You can specify an absolute path for a session file.
If you do not specify a directory, the default location for a session file is
$HOME/.sw/sessions/.
To re-execute a saved session from an interactive session, use the Recall Session option from the File menu.
To re-execute a session from a command-line, specify the session file as the argument for the
-S
