Using the utilupdate Utility
Use the utilupdate utility provided on your distribution media to update
the ris and dmu utilities on a server that is running an older version of
the operating system. This enables you to serve the latest version of the
operating system to client systems.
Syntax for the utilupdate utility is as follows:
utilupdate [-r] [-d] -m directory
There are three parameters for the utilupdate utility:
-r
This optional flag indicates that the ris utility and associated
programs should be updated.
-d
This optional flag indicates that the dmu utility and associated
programs should be updated.
-m
This required flag is used to specify the directory where the
operating system distribution is mounted.
______________________ Note _______________________
If you do not specify the -r or -d parameter, the utilupdate
utility only updates the components of the setld utility needed to
support the ris and dmu utilities on the server. This updates the
version of the setld utility in the /var/adm/ris/bin directory,
but does not change the server’s version of the setld utility. See
setld
(8) for more information.
