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.
Applies to all SD commands except
swagent
, swagentd, and install-sd.
agent=/usr/lbin/swagent
The location of the agent program invoked by the daemon.
Applies to
swagentd.
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 UI, or when
-p (preview) is used. This enhances network reliability and performance. The default
value of true means the target agent automatically exits when appropriate. When set to
false, the target agent will not exit until the controller ends the session.
Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove , swverify.
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.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall, swjob, swlist, swremove, swverify.
allow_downdate=false
Prevents the installation of an older revision of fileset that already exists at the targets.
(Many software products do not support "downdating".) If set to
true, the older revision
can be installed.
Applies to
swinstall.
allow_incompatible=false
Requires that the software products which are being installed be "compatible" with the tar-
get selections. (All of the target selections must match the list of supported systems
defined for each selected product.) If set to true, target compatibility is not enforced.
Applies to
swconfig, swinstall , and swverify.
allow_multiple_versions=false
Prevents the installation or configuration of another, independent version of a product
when a version already is already installed or configured at the target.
If set to true, another version of an existing product can be installed into a new location,
or can be configured in its new location. Multiple versions can only be installed if a product
is locatable. Multiple configured versions will not work unless the product supports it.
Applies to swconfig, swinstall, and swverify.
allow_split_patches=false
Permits the use of single patch filesets without "sibling" filesets. In the default state of
false, installation, copy, or removal of a single fileset from a multi-fileset patch automati-
cally 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 installed, copied, or removed
without including the sibling filesets. This allows a target to contain a patch that has been
"split" into its component filesets. WARNING: Splitting a patch can create a situation in
which one fileset in a sibling group would be updated or removed by a patch, while the
other filesets would remain at an earlier release or fail to be removed.
