sd(5) sd(5)

(Hewlett-Packard Company)

the source causes the task to abort. If set from 1 to 9, then the install of each ﬁleset will be

attempted that number of times. (You can use the retry_rpc_interval option to

specify the length of the interval between each retry attempt.)

The reinstall_files option should also be set to false to avoid installing ﬁles within

the ﬁleset that were successfully installed.

This option also applies to the controller contacting the agent. If the agent session fails to

start for any reason, the controller tries to recontact that agent for the number of times

speciﬁed in retry_rpc, using the values from the retry_rpc_interval option to

determine how long to wait between each attempt to recontact the agent.

Applies to swcopy and swinstall.

retry_rpc_interval={0}

Speciﬁes in minutes the length of the interval for repeated attempts to make a connection

to a target after an initial failure. Used in conjunction with the retry_rpc option. If the

number of values in this option equals the value of retry_rpc, SD tries reestablishing a

source connection for the number of times speciﬁed in retry_rpc. If the number of

values in retry_rpc_interval

is less than the value in

retry_rpc, SD repeats the

ﬁnal interval value until the number of retries matches

retry_rpc.

For example, if an agent session failed to start and

retry_rpc was set to 9 and

retry_rpc_interval

was set to {1 2 4 8 15} to allow long waits to handle transient

network failures, the SD controller would attempt to recontact the agent after 1 minute for

the ﬁrst retry, then 2 minutes for the second retry, 4 for the third, then 8, then 15 for all

additional retries until nine retries were attempted. With these values, a ﬁle load failure

could cause the operation to pause for 90 minutes (1+2+4+8+15+15+15+15+15). If

retry_rpc was set to 5 and retry_rpc_interval

was set to {1 2 4 8 15}, the con-

troller would try to contact the target ﬁve times over a 30-minute period.

Applies to

swcopy and swinstall.

rpc_binding_info=ncacn_ip_tcp:[2121] ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]

Deﬁnes the protocol sequence(s) and endpoint(s) on which the daemon listens and on which

the other commands use to contact the daemon. If the connection fails for one protocol

sequence, the next is attempted. SD supports both the tcp

(ncacn_ip_tcp:[2121])

and udp (ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]) protocol

sequence on most platforms.

The value (or values for

swagentd) can have following form:

• A DCE string binding containing a protocol sequence and an endpoint. The syntax is:

protocol_sequence:[endpoint]

• The name of a DCE protocol sequence with no endpoint speciﬁed. The syntax is:

protocol_sequence, for example ncadg_ip_udp or ncacn_ip_tcp .(A

trailing : can be attached to the protocol sequence, it has no effect.) Since no end-

point is speciﬁed, the DCE endpoint mapper rpcd must be running and will be used to

ﬁnd the endpoint registered by the swagentd.

• The literal string all. This entry means to use (try) all protocol sequences supported

by the DCE RPC. It should be the only entry in the list. The DCE endpoint mapper

rpcd also must be running in order to use this option.

Applies to all commands except swask, swpackage, and swmodify.

rpc_binding_info_alt_source=ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]

Deﬁnes the protocol sequence(s) and endpoint(s) used when the agent attempts to contact

an alternate source depot speciﬁed by the alternate_source option. SD supports

both the udp(ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]) and tcp(ncacn_ip_tcp:[2121]

) protocol

sequence/endpoint.

Applies to

swagent.

rpc_timeout=5

Relative length of the communications timeout. This is a value in the range from 0 to 9 and

is interpreted by the DCE RPC. Higher values mean longer times; you may need a higher

value for a slow or busy network. Lower values will give faster recognition on attempts to

contact hosts that are not up, or are not running swagentd. Each value is approximately
