Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

re-use lookup results. The maximum value allowed is 10080 minutes, which is
one week.
Applies to swacl, swagentd, swask, swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swjob,
swlist, swmodify, swpackage, swreg, swremove, and swverify.
• match_target=false
If set to true, forces selection of filesets from the source that match filesets already
installed on the target system.
Filesets on the source which specify an installed fileset as an “ancestor” will be
selected.
This option overrides any other software selections.
Selections cannot be ambiguous.
Applies only to swinstall.
• max_agents=-1
The maximum number of agents that are permitted to run simultaneously. The
value of -1 means there is no limit.
Applies only to swagentd.
• max_targets=25
When set to a positive integer, this option limits the number of concurrent install
or copy operations to the number specified. As each copy or install operation
completes, another target is selected and started until all targets are completed.
Server and network performance determines the optimal setting; a recommended
starting point is 25 (the default value). If you set this option to a value of less than
one, SD-UX attempts to install or copy to all targets at once.
Applies to swcopy and swinstall.
• media_capacity=1330
If creating a distribution tape or multiple-directory media such as a CD-ROM, this
keyword specifies the capacity of the tape in one million byte units (not Mbytes).
This option is required if the media is not a DDS tape or a disk file. Without this
option, swpackage sets the size to the default of 1,330 million bytes for tape or to
the amount of free space on the disk up to minfree for a disk file.
SD-UX uses the same format across multiple directory media as it does for multiple
serial media, including calculations of the correct size based partitioning of filesets
and setting of the media_sequence_number attributes.
Applies only to swpackage.
• media_type=directory
Defines the type of distribution to create. The recognized types are directory
and tape. Without this option, swpackage creates a distribution directory (depot)
by default.
Applies only to swpackage.
