HP-UX Reference (11i v2 07/12) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

s
swinstall(1M) swinstall(1M)
enforce_dsa=true
Prevents the command from proceeding past the analysis phase if the disk space required is
beyond the available free space of the impacted filesystem(s). If set to
false, the install
or copy operation uses the filesystem’s minfree space and may fail because it reaches the
filesystem’s absolute limit.
enforce_kernbld_failure=true
(Applies only to swinstall.) Prevents
swinstall from proceeding past the kernel
build phase if the kernel build processes fail. If set to
false, the install operation contin-
ues (without suspension if in the interactive mode) despite failure or warnings from either
the system preparation process or the kernel build process.
When set to the default value of
true
, this option generates an error if a command tries to
relocate a non-relocatable fileset. (Relocatable filesets are packaged with the
is_relocatable
attribute set to true). When set to false, the usual error handling
process is overridden, and SD permits the command to relocate the fileset.
enforce_scripts=true
Controls the handling of errors generated by scripts. If
true, and a script returns an
error, an error message appears reporting that the execution phase failed. If
false,
swinstall attempts to continue operation. A warning message appears saying that the
analysis or execution phase succeeded. The message identifies the specific swinstall
phase (checkinstall, preinstall, postinstall, or configure).
installed_software_catalog=products
(Applies only to swinstall.) Defines the directory path where the Installed Products
Database (IPD) is stored. This information describes installed software. When set to an
absolute path, this option defines the location of the IPD. When this option contains a rela-
tive path, the SD controller appends the value to the value specified by the
admin_directory option to determine the path to the IPD. For alternate roots, this
path is resolved relative to the location of the alternate root. This option does not affect
where software is installed, only the IPD location.
This option permits the simultaneous installation and removal of multiple software applica-
tions by multiple users or multiple processes, with each application or group of applications
using a different IPD.
Caution: use a specific
installed_software_catalog
to manage a specific applica-
tion. SD does not support multiple descriptions of the same application in multiple IPDs.
See also the
admin_directory
and run_as_superuser options, which control SD’s
nonprivileged mode. (This mode is intended only for managing applications that are spe-
cially designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to manage the HP-UX operating
system or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software Distri-
butor Administration Guide, available at the
http://docs.hp.com web site.)
job_title=
This is an ASCII string giving a title to a job. It is displayed along with the job ID to pro-
vide additional identifying information about a job when swjob or sd is invoked. The
default value is to have no title. If a title is specified, it should be enclosed in quotes.
layout_version=1.0
(Applies only to swcopy.) Specifies the POSIX layout_version to which the SD
commands conform when writing distributions and swlist output. Supported values are
"1.0" (default) and "0.8".
SD object and attribute syntax conforms to the layout_version 1.0 specification of the IEEE
POSIX 1387.2 Software Administration standard. SD commands still accept the keyword
names associated with the older layout version, but you should use
layout_version=0.8 only to create distributions readable by older versions of SD.
See the description of the layout_version option in sd(5) for more information.
logdetail=false
Controls the amount of detail written to the logfile. When set to true, this option adds
detailed task information (such as options specified, progress statements and additional
summary information) to the logfile. This information is in addition to log information con-
trolled by the loglevel option.
