s
swinstall(1M) swinstall(1M)
The uncompressed INDEX or INFO file is accessed by the source agent if any problem
occurs when accessing, transferring, or uncompressing the
INDEX.gz or INFO.gz file.
controller_source=
Specifies the location of a depot for the controller to access to resolve selections. Setting
this option can reduce network traffic between the controller and the target. Use the target
selection syntax to specify the location: [host
][:][/directory]
The controller_source_option
supports the same syntax as the -s source option.
This option has no effect on which sources the target uses and is ignored when used with
the Interactive User Interface.
create_target_path=true
Causes the agent to create the target directory if it does not already exist. If set to
false,
a new target directory is not created. This option can prevent the erroneous creation of
new target depots or new alternate root directories.
create_time_filter=0
For cumulative source depots, this option allows consistent software selections over time by
swlist, swcopy, and swinstall. The default of zero includes all bundles, products,
subproducts, and filesets in the source depot as candidates for selection (and autoselection
of dependencies and patches), based on the software selections and other options. When set
to a time (specified as seconds from epoch), only those bundles, products, and filesets (and
the subproducts in the product) with a create_time less than or equal to the specified value
are available for selection (or autoselection). To list the create_time of bundles, products
and filesets, use:
swlist -a create_time -a create_date
customer_id=
This number, also printed on the Software Certificate, is used to "unlock" protected
software and restrict its installation to a specific site or owner. It is entered using the
-x
customer_id= option or by using the Interactive User Interface. The customer_id can be
used on any HP-UX 10.0X or later system.
defer_configure=false
(Applies only to swinstall.) Causes swinstall to automatically run configure scripts
for the software_selections after they are installed. (Alternate root directories are not
configured.)
When set to true,
swinstall does not run configure scripts. If you want to configure the
software later, you must run the swconfig command.
NOTES:
• Multiple versions of a product will not be automatically configured if another version is
already configured. Use the swconfig command to configure multiple versions
separately.
• SD ignores this option when it installs software that causes a system reboot.
distribution_source_directory=/var/spool/sw
Defines the default location of the source depot (when the source_type is directory).
You can also use the host:path syntax. The -s option overrides this default.
distribution_target_directory=/var/spool/sw
(Applies only to swcopy.) Defines the default location of the target depot.
enforce_dependencies=true
Requires that all dependencies specified by the software_selections be resolved either in the
specified source, or at the target_selections themselves.
The
swinstall and swcopy commands will not proceed unless the dependencies have
also been selected or already exist at the target in the correct state (INSTALLED or AVAIL-
ABLE). This prevents unusable software from being installed on the system. It also
ensures that depots contain usable sets of software.
If set to false, dependencies are still checked, but not enforced. Corequisite dependen-
cies, if not enforced, may keep the selected software from working properly. Prerequisite
dependencies, if not enforced, may cause the installation or configuration to fail.
