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

• keep_temp_dir=false
Retains the temporary directory created by swsign for debugging, when set to true. The
default value is false (applies only to swsign).
• 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.
Layout version 1.0 adds significant functionality not recognized by systems supporting only
version 0.8, including:
◦ Category class objects (formerly the category and category_title attributes within
the bundle or product class).
◦ Patch-handling attributes, including applied_patches, is_patch, and patch_state.
◦ The fileset architecture attribute at the fileset level, which permits you to specify the
architecture of the target system on which the software will run.
In addition to adding new attributes and objects, layout version 1.0 changes the following
preexisting 0.8 objects and attributes:
◦ Replaces the depot media_sequence_number attribute for the media object with a
sequence number attribute.
◦ Replaces the vendor definition within products and bundles with a vendor_tag attribute
and a corresponding vendor object defined outside the product or bundle.
◦ Pluralizes the corequisite and prerequisite fileset attributes.
◦ Changes the timestamp attribute to mod_time.
Applies to swcopy, swlist, swmodify and swpackage.
• level=
Specifies a software level for swacl, swlist and swreg.
For swlist, this option lists all objects down to the specified level. Both the specified levels
and the depth of the specified software_selections control the depth of the swlist
output. The supported software levels are:
◦ bundle -- show all objects down to the bundle level.
◦ product -- show all objects down to the product level. Also use -lbundle -l
productto show bundles.
◦ subproduct -- show all objects down to the subproduct level.
