Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

1. Select Actions→Save Target Group...
The Select File dialog appears. If target groups already exist, the first file path
appears in the text box in the bottom of the dialog. Type a name for a new group
or re-use an existing group (saving your current list to existing target group
overwrites that group). Groups are saved in the directory:
$HOME/.sw/targets
2. To save the group, click OK.
This saves all the target selections you have just marked (all targets listed with
Yes in the Marked? Column). This group will automatically appear in the Select
File dialog for all subsequent target group selections.
7.2.6 Adding a Target Group
To re-use a target group that you previously saved:
1. Select Actions→Add Target Group.... The Select File dialog appears. All existing
target groups appear in the list.
2. Select the target group you want and click OK.
The targets from that group are now marked, along with any other targets you
had already marked.
7.3 Setting Up Remote Operations
SD-UX uses Access Control Lists to authorize anyone who is attempting to create,
modify, or read software products in a depot or to install software to a root file system.
(ACLs are discussed in detail in Chapter 9: “SD-UX Security ” (page 187).)
You can enable SD to manage software on remote systems. To let the root user perform
operations on a remote target (also called the host or agent) from a central SD controller
(also called the central management server or manager node):
1. Set up the root, host, and template Access Control Lists (ACLs) on the remote
machines to permit root access from the controller system. To do this, run the
following command on each remote system:
# /usr/lib/sw/mx/setaccess controller
