The optional command_name prefix denotes one of the SD commands. Using the prefix limits the change
in the default value to that command. If you leave the prefix off, the change applies to all commands.
You can also override default values from the command line with the
-x or -X options:
command
-x option =value
command
-X option_file
The following section lists all of the keywords supported by the
swverify command. If a default value
exists, it is listed after the
=. The commands that this option applies to are also specified.
admin_directory=/var/adm/sw
(for normal mode)
admin_directory=/var/home/LOGNAME/sw
(for nonprivileged mode)
The location for SD logfiles and the default parent directory for the installed software
catalog. The default value is
/var/adm/sw for normal SD operations. When SD
operates in nonprivileged mode (that is, when the
run_as_superuser
default option
is set to
true):
• The default value is forced to
/var/home/LOGNAME/sw
.
• The path element
LOGNAME is replaced with the name of the invoking user, which SD
reads from the system password file.
• If you set the value of this option to
HOME/path , SD replaces HOME with the invoking
user’s home directory (from the system password file) and resolves path relative to
that directory. For example,
HOME/my_admin
resolves to the my_admin directory
in your home directory.
• If you set the value of the
installed_software_catalog
default option to a
relative path, that path is resolved relative to the value of this option.
SD’s nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that are specially
designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to manage the HP-UX operating sys-
tem or patches to it. For a full explanation of nonprivileged SD, see the Software Distri-
butor Administration Guide, available at the
http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs
web site.

installed_software_catalog
and run_as_superuser options.
agent_auto_exit=true
Causes the target agent to automatically exit after Execute phase, or after a failed
Analysis phase. This is forced to false when the controller is using an interactive UI,
or when -p (preview) is used. This enhances network reliability and performance. The
default value of true causes the target agent to automatically exit when appropriate.
When set to false, the target agent will not exit until the controller ends the session.
agent_timeout_minutes=10000
Causes a target agent to exit if it has been inactive for the specified time. This can be
used to make target agents more quickly detect lost network connections since RPC can
take as long as 130 minutes to detect a lost connection. The recommended value is the
longest period of inactivity expected in your environment. For command line invocation,
a value between 10 minutes and 60 minutes is suitable. A value of 60 minutes or more is
recommended when the GUI will be used. The default of 10000 is slightly less than 7
days.
allow_incompatible=false
Requires that the software products which are being installed be "compatible" with the
target selections. (All of the target selections must match the list of supported systems
defined for each selected product.) If set to true, target compatibility is not enforced.
allow_multiple_versions=false
Prevents the installation or configuration of another, independent version of a product
when a version already is installed or configured at the target.
If set to
true, another version of an existing product can be installed into a new location,
or can be configured in its new location. Multiple versions can only be installed if a pro-
duct is locatable. Multiple configured versions will not work unless the product supports
it.
