s
swinstall(1M) swinstall(1M)
If multiple targets are specified, the first target in the list is used as the basis for patch
selections.
patch_match_target=false
If set to true, this option selects the latest patches (software identified by the
is_patch=true attribute) that correspond to software on the target root or depot. If multiple
targets are specified, the first target in the list is used as the basis for patch selections.
The patch_filter=
option can be used in conjunction with patch_match_target
.
patch_save_files=true
(Applies only to swinstall) Saves the original versions of files modified by patches,
which permits the future rollback of a patch. Patched files are saved to
/var/adm/sw/save
. When set to false, patches cannot be rolled back (removed)
unless the base software modified by the patch is removed at the same time.
To commit a patch by removing the corresponding saved files, use the
swmodify
command’s patch_commit option.
polling_interval=2
Defines the polling interval, in seconds, used by the interactive GUI or TUI of the con-
troller. It specifies how often each target agent is polled to obtain status information about
the task being performed. When operating across wide-area networks, the polling interval
can be increased to reduce network overhead.
preserve_create_time=false
(Applies only to swcopy.) Preserves the original create time when you copy depots, which
produces consistent results when you use the copies. The default of false sets the
create_time of software bundles, products, and filesets equal to the time the object was
created in the depot. When set to true, the create_time of software bundles, products,
and filesets is set to that specified in the source depot. Note that using this option when
copying to a master depot can change the objects that are visible when you use the
create_time_filter
option.
recopy=false
(Applies only to swcopy.) Do not copy a fileset that is already available on the target at
the same version. If recopy=true , copy the fileset in any case.
register_new_depot=true
(Applies only to swcopy.) Causes swcopy to register a newly created depot with the
local swagentd. This action allows other SD commands to automatically "see" this depot.
If set to false, a new depot is not automatically registered. It can be registered later
with the swreg command.
register_new_root=true
(Applies only to swinstall.) Causes alternate roots to be registered during swin-
stall
. These can be listed with swlist.
reinstall=false
When re-installing an existing revision of a fileset, this option causes that fileset to be
skipped, that is, not re-installed. If set to
true, the fileset is re-installed. See also
recopy=false .
reinstall_files=false
Controls the overwriting of files, which may enhance performance on slow networks or
disks. At the default value of false, SD compares each file in a source fileset to correspond-
ing files on the target system. SD compares the files based on size, timestamp, and (option-
ally) the checksum (see
reinstall_files_use_cksum). If the files are identical the
files on the target system are not overwritten.
When set to true, SD does not compare files and overwrites any identical files on the target.
reinstall_files_use_cksum=true
Controls the use of checksum comparisons when the reinstall_files option is set to
false. At the default value of true, this option causes SD to compute and compare check-
sums to determine if a new file should overwrite an old file. Use of checksums slows the
comparison but is a more robust check for equivalency than size and time stamp.
