Task 3: Using update-ux (Required)
After you have installed the Update-UX bundle on the target system and,
optionally, created an update depot containing all software to be
installed, you can now proceed to update your target system. Use the
following syntax to run the update-ux command:
update-ux -s
source_location [-?] [-n|-y] [-i]
[-f
selection_file ] [-x option = value ] [ sw_spec ]
where:
-s
source_location
Specifies the source containing the new software depot.
Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted DVD
containing a depot, or a remote system-and-depot
combination. All paths used in the
source_location
must be absolute paths. If
source_location is a
remote system and depot combination, specify the
remote system first, followed by the absolute path to
the remote depot, separated by a colon with no spaces;
for example: swperf:/var/spool/sw
-? Prints the usage statement.
-n|-y Specifies whether or not update-ux issues a message
and waits for your response to continue whenever
something unexpected is attempted. Specify -n first (or
omit this option) to have update-ux “not continue”
when an error is issued. When you have reviewed or
resolved all errors, use -y instead of -n to have
update-ux ignore all messages that would otherwise
cause update-ux to wait for a user response.
-i Specifies the swinstall interactive user interface to
select software products from a depot or bundle during
the update. For more information, refer to the swinstall
(1M) manpage.
-f
selection_file
Reads the list of software selections from
software_file instead of (or in addition to) the
command line. This option enables you to select and
update optional software or to deselect
default-installed software.
