• If you set the value of the
installed_software_catalog
default option to a
relative path, that path is resolved relative to the value of this option.
SD’s nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that are specially
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 Distributor
Administration Guide, available at the
http://docs.hp.com
web site.
See also the
installed_software_catalog
and run_as_superuser
options.
agent_auto_exit=true
Causes the target agent to automatically exit after Execute phase, or after a failed Analysis
phase. This is forced to false when the controller is using an interactive user interface,
or when -p (preview) is used. This enhances network reliability and performance. The
default value of true causes the target agent to automatically exit when appropriate.
When set to false, the target agent will not exit until the controller ends the session.
agent_timeout_minutes=10000
Causes a target agent to exit if it has been inactive for the specified time. This can be used
to make target agents more quickly detect lost network connections since RPC can take as
long as 130 minutes to detect a lost connection. The recommended value is the longest
period of inactivity expected in your environment. For command line invocation, a value
between 10 minutes and 60 minutes is suitable. A value of 60 minutes or more is recom-
mended when the GUI will be used. The default of 10000 is slightly less than 7 days.
allow_split_patches=false
Permits the use of single patch filesets without "sibling" filesets. In the default state of
false, removal of a single fileset from a multi-fileset patch automatically includes any
other fileset that are part of the patch, based on the ancestor filesets of the target fileset.
(This behavior applies to filesets selected directly by the user and to filesets automatically
selected by SD to resolve software dependencies.)
When set to true, SD allows a single patch fileset to be removed without including the
sibling filesets. This allows a target to contain a patch that has been "split" into its com-
ponent filesets. WARNING: Splitting a patch can create a situation in which one fileset in a
sibling group would be removed by a patch, while the other filesets would not.
auto_kernel_build=true
Normally set to true. Specifies whether the removal of a kernel fileset should rebuild the
kernel or not. If the kernel rebuild succeeds, the system automatically reboots. If set to
false, the system continues to run the current kernel.
If the auto_kernel_build
option is set to true, the autoreboot option must also
be set to
true. If the auto_kernel_build
option is set to false, the value of the
autoreboot option does not matter.
autoreboot=false
Prevents the removal of software requiring a reboot from the non-interactive interface. If
set to
true, then this software can be removed and the target system(s) will be automati-
cally rebooted.
An interactive session always asks for confirmation before software requiring a reboot is
removed.
If the auto_kernel_build option is set to true, the autoreboot option must also
be set to true. If the auto_kernel_build option is set to false, the value of the
autoreboot option does not matter.
autoremove_job=false
Controls automatic job removal. If the job is automatically removed, job information (job
status or controller/agent log files) cannot be queried with swjob.
autoselect_dependents=false
Automatically selects all software that depends on the specified software. When set to
true, and any software that other software depends on is selected for removal,
swremove automatically selects that other software. If set to false, automatic selec-
tions are not made to resolve requisites.
