OS software is packaged in bundles. Bundles can
consist of groups of filesets or of products. Customer
creation of bundles is not supported.
Products Collections of filesets or (optionally) subproducts and
control scripts. The SD-UX commands maintain a
product focus but still allow you to specify subproducts
and filesets.
Different versions of a product can be defined for
different platforms and operating systems, as well as
different revisions (releases) of the product itself.
Several different versions could be included on one
distribution media or depot.
Subproducts If a product contains several filesets, subproducts can
be used to group logically related filesets.
Filesets Filesets include all the files and control scripts that
make up a product. Filesets can only be part of a single
product but they can be included in several different
HP-UX bundles or subproducts. Like products,
different versions of a fileset may be defined for
different platforms and OSs.
Filesets are the lowest level of object managed by
SD-UX.
