s
sd(5) sd(5)
Applies to swinstall.
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.
Applies to
swinstall, swcopy, and swpackage
.
reinstall_files_use_cksum=true
(For swpackage, the default value for this option is
false.) Controls the use of check-
sum comparisons when the
reinstall_files
option is set to false. At the default
value of true, this option causes SD to compute and compare checksums 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.
Applies to
swcopy, swinstall, and swpackage.
remove_empty_depot=true
Remove an empty depot when the last product is removed. If set to false, an empty
depot will not be removed, preserving any depot ACLs.
Applies to
swremove.
remove_obsolete_filesets=false
Controls whether swcopy automatically removes obsolete filesets from target products in
the target depot. If set to true, swcopy removes obsolete filesets from the target pro-
ducts that were written to during the copy process. Removal occurs after the copy is com-
plete. Filesets are defined as obsolete if they were not part of the most recent packaging
of the product residing on the source depot.
Applies to
swcopy.
remove_setup_cmd=/usr/lbin/sw/remove_setup
Defines the script called by the agent to perform release-specific removal preparation.
For an OS update, this script invokes the tlink command when a fileset is removed.
Applies to
swagentd.
Please Note: Transition links do not exist on 11.31 and newer releases so there are no
remove preparation steps to perform, therefore the
remove_setup_cmd
is never exe-
cuted for these releases.
retry_rpc=1
Defines the number of times a lost (timed out) source connection will be retried during
file transfers. When used in conjunction with the
rpc_timeout option, the success of
installing over slow or busy networks can be increased. If set to zero, any
rpc_timeout to the source causes the task to abort. If set from 1 to 9, then the install
of each fileset will be attempted that number of times. (You can use the
retry_rpc_interval option to specify the length of the interval between each retry
attempt.)
The
reinstall_files option should also be set to false to avoid installing files
within the fileset that were successfully installed.
This option also applies to the controller contacting the agent. If the agent session fails
to start for any reason, the controller tries to recontact that agent for the number of times
specified in
retry_rpc, using the values from the retry_rpc_interval option to
determine how long to wait between each attempt to recontact the agent.
Applies to
swcopy and swinstall.
