Restrictions on sw* Commands Invoked by drd runcmd

Options on the Software Distributor commands that can be used with drd runcmd are limited by the need to ensure that operations are DRD-safe. The restrictions include the following:

The -F and -x fix=true options are not supported for drd runcmd swverify operations. Use of these options could result in changes to the booted system.
The use of double quotation marks and wild card symbols (*, ?) in the command line must be escaped with a backslash character (\), as in the following example:
drd runcmd swinstall –s depot_server:/var/opt/patches \*
Files referenced in the command line must both:
- Reside in the inactive system image
- Be referenced in the DRD-safe command by the path relative to the mount point of the inactive system image
This applies to files referenced as arguments for the -C, -f, -S, -X, and -x logfile options for an sw command run by drd runcmd.

See drd-runcmd(1M) for further information about restrictions on Software Distributor commands invoked by drd runcmd.
