Command Options
Options Listed Alphabetically
Appendix A450
• reconfigure=false
This option prevents software that is already in the configured state
from being reconfigured. If set to true, configured software can be
reconfigured.
Applies to swconfig.
• register_new_depot=true
Normally set to true, a newly created depot is registered on its host.
This allows other commands to automatically see this depot.
If set to false, new depots are not registered. This could allow you to
create a private depot on which to test, then later register it with
swreg.
Applies only to swcopy.
• register_new_root=true
Causes swinstall to register a newly-created alternate root with the
local swagentd, which lets other SD-UX commands see this root.
If set to false, a new root is not automatically registered. (You can use
the swreg command to register the depot later.)
Applies only to swinstall.
• reinstall=false
Prevents SD-UX from re-installing (overwriting) an existing revision
of a fileset. If set to true, the fileset are re-installed.
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
• reinstall_files=false
Controls the overwriting of files, which may enhance performance on
slow networks or disks. At the default value of false, SD-UX
compares each file in a source fileset to corresponding files on the
target system. SD-UX compares the files based on size, timestamp,
and (optionally) the checksum. If the files are identical the files on
the target system are not overwritten.
When set to true, SD-UX does not compare files and overwrites any
identical files on the target.
See also the reinstall and reinstall_files_use_cksum options.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swpackage.
