Re-installing SD

If your system needs re-updating and/or you find that Software Distributor (SD) needs updating, you can re-install SD.

To update SD, you must first load the install-sd utility onto your system, then use install-sd to get the new version of SD.

The install-sd utility is in the catalog/SW-DIST/pfiles directory on the HP-UX 11i v1 OE CD1. If install-sd is not in /var/tmp, load it. For example, to load install-sd from a local CD mounted at /cdrom, enter:
cp /cdrom/catalog/SW-DIST/pfiles/install-sd /var/tmp
The install-sd command uses the /var/tmp directory by default and needs at least 2MB of free space.
Copy the swagent.Z file from the CD-ROM:
cp /cdrom/catalog/SW-DIST/pfiles/swagent.Z /var/tmp
Make install-sd executable:
chmod +x /var/tmp/install-sd
Run install-sd to install the SW-DIST product onto your system:
/var/tmp/install-sd -s /sd_cdrom
For more about the install-sd command, see Appendix C of the Software Distributor Administration Guide, available on the Instant Information CD and on this web page:
