After you set up remote operations and enable the remote operations GUI on the central controller,
you can start the swinstall, swcopy, or swremove GUI as you normally would. For example:
/usr/sbin/swinstall
or
/usr/sbin/swinstall -i
NOTE: The Terminal User Interface (TUI) is not available with remote operations.
Target Selection Window
The Target Selection Window always appears first with the remote GUI programs. Like the Software
Selection Window, it features the standard menu bar, message area, and object list of targets
available for selection. Instead of selecting software, you select the remote targets on which the
remote operation will take place. Menu items and target selection are discussed in the following
sections.

The general procedure for using the remote operations GUI is to:
1. Select one target at a time by highlighting a target in the object list of the Target Selection
Window.
2. Select ActionsMark for Install....(or ActionsMark for Copy....or ActionsMark for
Remove....).
3. Repeat 1 and 2 for any additional targets.
4. When you have selected all targets for your operation, select ActionsShow Software for
Selection.... to display the Software Selection Window.
Selecting Multiple Targets
This section discusses how to install to multiple targets, create target groups, and how to save these
groups for future software installations. (For single-target installations to your local (default) target,
see the procedures in “Remote Operations Tutorial” (page 121)).
