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

1. Select software from the object list:
a. Highlight an item
b. Select Actions→Mark For Install
— or —
Right-click to display the pop-up, then select Mark For Install
The Marked? flag in the object list changes to Yes to match your selection. (The flag Partial
may appear if you select only a component of a software object or if such components are
automatically selected due to dependencies.)
NOTE: If multiple versions of a product exist in the same depot, SD-UX lets you select only
one version during each installation session.
2. (Optional) Use choices from the Actions menu:
• Match What Target Has examines your current Installed Product Database to match your
existing filesets with new filesets (those with the same names) that you are going to install.
This feature is most helpful when you are updating a system to newer versions of the same
software. This option can be set from the Options Editor. If multiple targets are specified,
the first target in the list is used as the basis for selections.
• Add Software Group displays a list of previously saved software group files or lets you
specify a directory. Selecting a file adds the software selections in the file to any selections
you have already made in the Software Selection window.
• Save Software Group lets you save your current list of marked software as a group.
• Manage Patch Selections lets you select from a list of patches to install, select filters for
patches, and set other patch options. (See “Installing Patches” (page 49) for more
information.)
• Change Source... cancels your software selections and returns you to the Specify Source
dialog.
• Add New Codeword lets you add a new codeword to unlock protected software. (This
option is available only when SD-UX detects that the source contains protected software.)
• Change Target... displays the Select Target Path dialog. This lets you specify an alternate
root for products that are relocatable.
• Show Description of Software (available only for a single item highlighted in the object
list) displays more information on the selected software.
3. Select Actions→Install to start the analysis (preview) step. The Analysis dialog appears.
Step IV: Analysis (Preview)
In this step, SD-UX analyzes the software you have selected.
The Analysis window displays status information about the analysis process. When the analysis is
complete and the host status shows Ready, click OK to start the actual installation (see “Step V:
Installation” (page 46)). The Analysis dialog is then replaced by the Install dialog.
If you started a preview session, the install stops after the analysis. Clicking Cancel returns you to
the Software Selection window.
