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

• logfile=/var/adm/sw/<command>.log
This is the default controller log file for each command. The agent log files are always located
relative to the target depot or target root: /var/spool/sw/swagent.log and /var/adm/
sw/swagent.log, respectively.
Applies to all commands except swacl, swlist and swjob.
• loglevel=1
This option controls the log level for events logged to the command log file, the target agent
log file and the source agent log file by prepending identification numbers to SD-UX log file
messages. This information is in addition to the detail controlled by the logdetail option.
A value of:
◦ 0 -- provides no information to the log files
◦ 1 -- enables verbose logging to the log files
◦ 2 -- enables very verbose logging to the log files.
Applies to swconfig, swcopy, swinstall, swmodify, swpackage, swremove and
swverify.
• lookupcache_timeout_minutes=10
This option controls the time in minutes to cache and re-use the results of hostname or IP address
resolution lookups. A value of 0 disables the facility to cache and 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.
