NAME

setld − system software subset utility

SYNTAX

setld −d subset ...
setld −a loc-code subset ...
setld −i [ subset ... ]
setld −c subset message
setld −l loc-code
setld −x loc-code
setld −v [ subset ... ]

DESCRIPTION

The setld utility enables superusers to load, unload, and inventory software subsets. You must be in the root directory before using the setld utility.

The location code, loc-code, is used by setld to determine which media device to use. Valid location codes include the following, where ? refers to the logical unit number of the device:

/dev/rmt?hor

/dev/rmt?lmagnetic tapes

/dev/rra?arx50 diskette drives

/mntra60 disk drives

hostname:for network installations

Note that location code for ra60 drives is a directory and that setld assumes that the ra60 installation media is mounted there.

The following options are available with the setld utility:

−dRemoves files related to the named subset or subsets from the system hierarchy. For example, the following command removes the sccs software subset:

setld -d ultsccs020

−aTransfers files related to the named subset or subsets from the installation media to the system hierarchy. The −a option requires an argument naming the input location from which the subsets are loaded. For example, the following command loads the Pascal subset onto the file-system hierarchy that has its root in the current working directory:

setld −a /dev/rmt0h ultpascal020

The following command loads the F77 and Pascal subsets from diskettes mounted on the named rx50 device:

setld −a /dev/rra1a ultf77020 ultpascal020

and the sequence of commands

fsck /dev/rra3g
mount /dev/ra3g /mnt
setld -a /mnt ultf77020 ultpascal020

will do the same from your ra60 pack mounted on logical unit number 3.

−iGives an inventory of all files in the named subset or subsets. If no argument is given, setld Displays installed subsets in uppercase letters and uninstalled subsets in lowercase letters. For example, the following command lists all files contained in the accounting software subset:

setld -i ultacct020

−cSends the specified reconfiguration message to the named subset.

−lLoads any subset or subsets found on the installation media currently mounted at the named location. For example, the following command loads a layered product from the named tape device:

setld −l /dev/rmt0h

−xLoads media images from the specified tape device to the current working directory. For example, the following command loads all media images found on the device into the current working directory:

setld −x /dev/rmt0h

−vExecutes the IVP (Internal Verification Program) for layered product subsets. Not all layered products have them.

FILES

/usr/adm/subsets/*.ctrl Subset Control Data Files
/usr/adm/subsets/*.image Subset Image Data Files

RESTRICTIONS

The system does not check for sufficient disk storage space when a subset is added. It is possible to add part of a subset and then exceed the available disk capacity on systems with small fixed disks.
