NAME
swreg - register or unregister depots and roots
SYNOPSIS
swreg -l level [-u][-v][-C session_file ][-f object_file][-S session_file ][-t target_file]
[-x option=value ][-X option_file][objects_to_(un)register][@ target_selections]
Remarks
• This command supports operations on remote systems. See Remote Operation below.
• For an overview of all SD commands, see the sd(5) man page by typing man 5 sd on the com-
mand line.
DESCRIPTION
The swreg command controls the visibility of depots and roots to users who are performing software
management tasks. It must be used to register depots created by swpackage.
By default, the swcopy command registers newly created depots. By default, the swinstall com-
mand registers newly created alternate roots (the root, "/", is not automatically registered). The
swremove command unregisters a depot, or root, when or if the depot is empty. The user invokes
swreg to explicitly (un)register a depot when the automatic behaviors of
swcopy, swinstall,
swpackage, and swremove do not suffice. For example:
• Making a CD-ROM or other removable media available as a registered depot.
• Registering a depot created directly by swpackage.
• Unregistering a depot without removing it with
swremove.
Remote Operation
You can enable SD to manage software on remote systems. To let the root user from a central SD controller
(also called the central management server or manager node) perform operations on a remote target (also
called the host or agent):
1) Install a special HP ServiceControl Manager fileset on the remote systems. This enables remote opera-
tions by automatically setting up the root, host, and template Access Control Lists (ACLs) on the
remote machines and permitting root access from the controller system. To install the fileset, run the
following command on each remote system:
swinstall -s controller:/var/opt/mx/depot11 AgentConfig.SD-CONFIG
NOTES:
• controller is the name of the central management server.
• If the target is running HP-UX 10.20, use the same command but substitute depot10 for
depot11.
• Targets previously set up by SD/OV to be managed by this controller do not need this step.
• SD does not require any other ServiceControl Manager filesets.
2) (Optional) swinstall, swcopy, and swremove have enhanced GUI interfaces for remote opera-
tions. Enable the enhanced GUIs by creating the .sdkey file on the controller. Use this command:
touch /var/adm/sw/.sdkey
NOTES:
• This step is not required when you use SD from within the HP ServiceControl Manager.
• See sd(5), swinstall(1M), swcopy(1M), swjob(1M), swlist(1M),orswremove(1M) for more informa-
tion on interactive operations.
NOTE: You can also set up remote access by using swacl directly on the remote machines to grant root or
non-root access to users from the controller system.
Options
The swreg command supports the following options:
-l level Specify the level of the object to register or unregister. Exactly one level must be
specified. The supported levels are:
