Options Listed Alphabetically
Appendix A426
• allow_incompatible=false
Normally set to false, only software compatible with the local host is
allowed to be installed or configured.
If set to true, no compatibility checks are made.
Applies to swconfig, swinstall, and swverify.
• allow_multiple_versions=false
Normally set to false, so installed or configured multiple versions (for
example, the same product, but a different revision, installed into a
different location) are disallowed. Even though multiple installed
versions of software are supported if the software is locatable,
multiple configured versions do not work unless the product supports
it.
If set to true, you can install and manage multiple versions of the
same software.
Applies to swconfig, swinstall, and swverify.
• allow_partial_bundles=true
Determines whether to process partial bundles without issuing
warnings or notes to log files.
If true (default), swpackage packages what is available in the source
PSF, ignoring missing or ambiguous bundle contents. Bundles are
wrappers around products, so you must make sure the bundle
contents are placed in the resulting depot, if they are not in the PSF.
Otherwise, the missing/ambiguous contents will not affect the
system after installation.
If false, swpackage expects all the bundle contents to be present in
the source PSF and to be unique. Every content that is ambiguous or
missing gets a NOTE and every bundle that has a missing or
ambiguous content gets a WARNING.
Applies only to swpackage.
• allow_split_patches=false
Controls the ability to install or copy part of a patch. Use this option
only to resolve critical problems with the assistance of your HP
support representative.
