Software Distributor (SD)

For 10.10, the new swgettools command handles the period during an OS upgrade when the SD commands existing on the system are executing with new, and potentially incompatible, shared libraries, but still on the old kernel.

Features

Improved usability --
The default software view has been changed from showing only bundles to showing all top-level software (products and bundles). This allows users easier access to non-HP products that are not shipped in bundles.
Reduced log file verbosity --
Previous versions of SD produced excessive amounts of log file and screen messages. The 10.10 version will, by default, produce fewer messages. The previous volume of messages can be achieved by setting command line options.
Increase communications reliability --
SD now uses TCP as the default communications protocol for all communications between remote systems. Using TCP increases communications reliability for all users. This does not affect command interface or output.
Support for file systems up to 128 GB --
SD fully supports the 10.10 file system enhancements.
Assignment of unique numeric identifies to log messages --
The addition of a log_msgid option that will have a range of [0..4] to indicate which messages will have an ID number prepended. The default value is 0 (the same as before).
Improved bundles removal checking --
Filesets that are part of a bundle that is being removed will only be removed if they are not also part of any other valid bundle that is installed on the system or contained in the depot. If the fileset is part of another valid product installed on the system or contained in the depot, it will be removed.
Automatic codeword distribution to clients installing from central depot --
When a central server is serving a codeword protected CD-ROM to other hosts, it will distribute the codeword entry to those hosts to eliminate the need for system administrators to enter it at each location.

Impact

Using swgettools is a necessary step in the OS upgrade process for all users.

Usability impacts all users because any user scripts that depend on 10.01 output will need to invoke the SD commands with additional options to cause 10.01 output.

Any scripts that were dependent on the 10.01 default swlist output will need to be updated to accommodate changes in the default software view.

You will have functionality automatically removed from the kernel rather than having to reconfigure and rebuild the kernel manually after software removal succeeds. The system will automatically reboot when removing a kernel fileset.
