C.1 Re-installing SD-UX
The software product called SW-DIST provides all SD-UX functionality, commands,
and tools. This product is included on your HP-UX 11i media.
If the files that make up SW-DIST are deleted or corrupted, you may need to re-install
the product. The install-sd command lets you install the SD-UX product from
HP-UX 11i media or a depot. This command also installs any SD-UX patches that exist
in the source depot.
• The install-sd command is not supported on HP-UX versions 10.20 or 11.00.
• You need the 11i version of SW-DIST to install or copy any HP-UX software that
has been packaged in the 11i SD-UX format.
• The update-ux command replaces the swgettools script used by previous versions
of SD-UX for OS updates.
For More Information
For complete instructions for updating HP-UX, see:

C.1.1 Prerequisites
The install-sd command and an accompanying swagent.Z file require at least 2
MB of free space in the /var/tmp directory. If there is not enough space in this
directory, install-sd will fail. To determine if /var/tmp has adequate space, enter:
bdf /var/tmp
