Software Distributor (SD-UX) Administration Guide HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, and 11i v3 (762797-001, March 2014)

Applies to swinstall, swcopy, swlist.
• defer_configure=false
Controls the automatic running of configure scripts after swinstall software selections are
installed. The default value of false allows swinstall to automatically run configure scripts.
When set to true, swinstall does not run configure scripts. To configure the software later,
you must run the swconfig command.
◦ Multiple versions of a product will not be automatically configured if another version is
already configured. Use the swconfig command to configure multiple versions separately.
◦ SD-UX ignores this option (treats it as true) when it installs software that causes a system
reboot.
◦ Alternate root directories are not configured.
Applies only to swinstall
• distribution_source_directory=/var/spool/sw
Defines the default source depot when the value for the source_type option is directory.
You can also use the host:path syntax. The -s option overrides this default.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall, and swpackage.
• distribution_target_directory=/var/spool/sw
Defines the default distribution directory of the target depot. The target_selection operand
overrides this default.
Applies to swacl, swcopy, swlist, swmodify, swpackage, swreg, swremove and
swverify.
• distribution_target_serial=/dev/rmt/0m
Defines the default location of the target tape device file. The target_selection operand
overrides this default.
Applies only to swpackage.
• enforce_dependencies=true
When set to true, SD-UX enforces dependencies. swinstall, swcopy, and swconfig do
not proceed unless necessary dependencies can be selected, or already exist in the proper
state (installed, configured, or available). This prevents SD-UX from installing or copying
unusable software. This option also prevents swremove from removing dependent software.
When set to false, SD-UX checks dependencies but does not enforce them. Corequisite
dependencies, if not enforced, may keep the software from working properly. Prerequisite
dependencies, if not enforced, may cause the installation or configuration to fail.
Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swremove and swverify.
• enforce_dsa=true
When set to the default value of true, SD-UX does not proceed if the disk space required for
a software operation is more than the available free space. You can use this option to allow
installation into minfree space, or to attempt an install, copy, or package operation even
though it may fail because the disk reaches its absolute limit.
If set to false, space checks are still performed but a warning is issued that the system may
not be usable if the disk fills past the minfree threshold. An installation will fail if you run out
of disk space.
Applies to swcopy, swinstall and swpackage.
• enforce_kernbld_failure = true
Controls whether or not a failure in either of the kernel build steps (system_prep and
mk_kernel) is fatal to the install session. A failure to build a kernel causes the install process
to exit if in non-interactive mode, or to suspend if in an interactive mode.
