NAME
swverify - verify software products
SYNOPSIS
swverify [-d|-r][-F][-v][-C session_file ][-f software_file ][-J jobid] [-Q date]
[-S session_file ][-t target_file][-x option=value ][-X option_file ]
[software_selections][@ 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 swverify command verifies the software_selections at one or more target_selections (e.g. root
filesystems). When verifying installed software, swverify checks software states, dependency relation-
ships, file existence and integrity, in addition to executing vendor-supplied verification scripts.
The swverify command also verifies software_selections at one or more target depots. For target
depots,
swverify performs all of the checks listed above, but does not execute verification scripts.
NOTE: swverify does not support operations on a tape depot.
The swverify command also supports these features:
• Verifies whether installed or configured software is compatible with the hosts on which that
software is installed.
• Verifies that all dependencies (prerequisites, corequisites, exrequisites) are being met (for installed
software) or can be met (for available software).
• Executes vendor-specific verify scripts that check if the software products is correctly
configured.
• Executes vendor-specific fix scripts that correct and report specific problems.
• Reports missing files, check all file attributes (ignoring volatile files). These attributes include per-
missions, file types, size, checksum, mtime, link source and major/minor attributes.
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.
