s
sd(5) sd(5)
See also the installed_software_catalog
and run_as_superuser
options.
Applies to all SD commands except
swagent,
swagentd, and install-sd.
agent=/usr/lbin/swagent
The location of the agent program invoked by the daemon.
Applies to
swagentd.
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 means the target agent automatically exits when appropriate.
When set to false, the target agent will not exit until the controller ends the session.
Applies to
swconfig, swcopy, swinstall,
swremove, swverify.
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.
Applies to
swcopy, swinstall, swjob, swlist, swremove, swverify.
allow_downdate=false
Prevents the installation of an older revision of fileset that already exists at the targets.
(Many software products do not support "downdating".) If set to
true, the older revision
can be installed.
Applies to
swinstall.
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.
Applies to
swconfig, swinstall, and swverify.
allow_multiple_versions=false
Prevents the installation or configuration of another, independent version of a product
when a version already is already 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.
Applies to
swconfig, swinstall, and swverify.
allow_split_patches=false
Permits the use of single patch filesets without "sibling" filesets. In the default state of
false, installation, copy, or removal of a single fileset from a multi-fileset patch
automatically includes any other fileset that are part of the patch, based on the ancestor
filesets of the target fileset. (This behavior applies to filesets selected directly by the user
and to filesets automatically selected by SD to resolve software dependencies.)
When set to
true, SD allows a single patch fileset to be installed, copied, or removed
without including the sibling filesets. This allows a target to contain a patch that has
been "split" into its component filesets. WARNING: Splitting a patch can create a situa-
tion in which one fileset in a sibling group would be updated or removed by a patch,
while the other filesets would remain at an earlier release or fail to be removed.
Applies to
swinstall, swcopy, and swremove.
alternate_source=
Defines the alternate source which the agent will use when the
use_alternate_source option is set to true. The alternate source is specified
