Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

option to determine the path to the IPD. For alternate roots, this path is resolved
relative to the location of the alternate root. (This option does not affect where
software is installed, only the IPD location.)
This option permits the simultaneous installation and removal of multiple software
applications by multiple users or multiple processes, with each application or
group of applications using a different IPD.
Caution: use a specific installed_software_catalog to manage a specific
application. SD-UX does not support multiple descriptions of the same application
in multiple IPDs.
See also the admin_directory option.
Applies to swacl, swask, swconfig, swinstall, swlist, swmodify,
swremove, and swverify.
• job_title=
When running large numbers of jobs, you may want to add more information to
help you identify a specific job. Providing a value for this lets you add an ASCII
string that will be displayed along with the ID and other job attributes when you
invoke swjob or the job browser.
Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove, and swverify.
• kernel_build_cmd=/usr/sbin/mk_kernel
This is the script called by the agent for kernel building.
Applies only to swagent.
• kernel_path=/stand/vmunix
The path to the system’s bootable kernel. It is passed to the kernel_build_cmd
via the SW_KERNEL_PATH environment variable.
Applies only to swagent.
• layout_version=1.0
Specifies the POSIX layout version to which the SD-UX commands conform when
writing distributions and swlist output. Supported values are 1.0 (default) and
0.8. SD-UX for HP-UX version 11.10 and later can read or write either version.
SD-UX object and attribute syntax conforms to layout version 1.0 of the IEEE
Standard 1387.2, Software Administration (POSIX). SD-UX still accepts the keyword
names associated with the older layout version, but you should only use layout
version 0.8 to create distributions readable by older versions of SD-UX.
