swinstall(1M) swinstall(1M)
is_patch=true attribute) that correspond to software on the target root or depot. If multi-
ple targets are specified, the first target in the list is used as the basis for patch selec-
tions.
The
patch_filter=
option can be used in conjunction with patch_match_target
.
patch_save_files=true
(Applies only to swinstall) Saves the original versions of files modified by patches,
which permits the future rollback of a patch. Patched files are saved to
/var/adm/sw/save
. When set to false, patches cannot be rolled back (removed)
unless the base software modified by the patch is removed at the same time.
To commit a patch by removing the corresponding saved files, use the
swmodify
command’s
patch_commit option.
polling_interval=2
Defines the polling interval, in seconds, used by the interactive GUI or TUI of the con-
troller. It specifies how often each target agent is polled to obtain status information
about the task being performed. When operating across wide-area networks, the polling
interval can be increased to reduce network overhead.
preserve_create_time=false
(Applies only to swcopy.) Preserves the original create time when you copy depots,
which produces consistent results when you use the copies. The default of false sets
the create_time of software bundles, products, and filesets equal to the time the
object was created in the depot. When set to true, the create_time of software bun-
dles, products, and filesets is set to that specified in the source depot. Note that using
this option when copying to a master depot can change the objects that are visible when
you use the create_time_filter
option.
recopy=false
(Applies only to swcopy.) Do not copy a fileset that is already available on the target at
the same version. If recopy=true, copy the fileset in any case.
register_new_depot=true
(Applies only to swcopy.) Causes swcopy to register a newly created depot with the
local swagentd. This action allows other SD commands to automatically "see" this
depot. If set to false, a new depot is not automatically registered. It can be registered
later with the swreg command.
register_new_root=true
(Applies only to swinstall.) Causes alternate roots to be registered during swin-
stall. These can be listed with swlist.
reinstall=false
When re-installing an existing revision of a fileset, this option causes that fileset to be
skipped, that is, not re-installed. If set to
true, the fileset is re-installed. See also
recopy=false.
reinstall_files=false
Controls the overwriting of files, which may enhance performance on slow networks or
disks. At the default value of false, SD compares each file in a source fileset to
corresponding files on the target system. SD compares the files based on size, timestamp,
and (optionally) the checksum (see reinstall_files_use_cksum). If the files are
identical the files on the target system are not overwritten.
When set to true, SD does not compare files and overwrites any identical files on the tar-
get.
reinstall_files_use_cksum=true
Controls the use of checksum comparisons when the reinstall_files option is set to
false. At the default value of true, this option causes SD to compute and compare check-
sums to determine if a new file should overwrite an old file. Use of checksums slows the
comparison but is a more robust check for equivalency than size and time stamp.
If set to false, SD does not compute checksums and compares files only by size and times-
tamp.
