updmv(8)
NAME
  updmv - Moves customized, user, and inventory data files to or from
  storage.

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/updmv -i  location

  /usr/bin/updmv -o  location

OPTIONS
  -i  Copies the Customized File Inventory (CFI) and User File Inventory
      (UFI) files and those files listed in these inventory files from the
      specified location to the /var/adm/install/update directory.

  -o  Copies the CFI and UFI files and those files listed in the inventory
      files to the specified location.

OPERANDS
  location
      Specifies the storage area of the files. This area can be a tape
      device, disk device, or a Remote Installation Services (RIS) server
      area.

      You replace the location operand with the name of the tape or disk
      device, or the server name for a RIS server area. For tape storage, you
      must use a no-rewind tape device such as /dev/ntape/tape0_d0.  For disk
      storage, specify the complete directory path. For storage in a RIS
      server area, you must register the client in the server's RIS database.
      When you specify the server, the server name must be followed by a
      colon (:).

DESCRIPTION
  The updmv utility moves files listed in the User File Inventory (UFI) file
  and the Customized File Inventory (CFI) file to or from storage.

    ·  The UFI file, created by the genufi utility, identifies user files
       created after you installed the operating system.

    ·  The CFI file, created by the invsync utility, identifies files that
       were customized after the installation.

  You must have superuser privileges to run the updmv utility.

  During a new installation, some user files and customized files can be
  overwritten.	You can identify and save files from the current installation
  environment for later integration into the new installation environment.
  Use the updmv utility to move these files to a storage area or from the
  storage area to the update area.

  To store the files listed in the CFI and UFI files, invoke the updmv
  utility with the -o option followed by the location operand. The system
  must be shut down to single-user mode before you specify the updmv utility
  with the -o option.

  To make these files accessible for integration into a new installation
  environment, invoke the updmv utility with the -i option followed by the
  location operand. The updmv utility moves the listed files to the
  /var/adm/install/update directory so that they can be merged into the new
  installation environment with the updmerge utility.

EXAMPLES
  Save the files to a tape device:

       # updmv -o /dev/ntape/tape0_d0

  You must use a no-rewind tape device.

  Store the files on a disk device:

       # updmv -o /mnt/mydata

  Store the files in a RIS server area:

       # updmv -o midvale:

  To restore these files, replace the -o option with the -i option.

  Restore the files that were stored in a RIS server area:

       # updmv -i midvale:

  The restored image resides in /var/adm/install/update.

RESTRICTIONS
  You must have superuser privileges to run the updmv utility.

  The system must be in single-user mode before you invoke the updmv utility
  with the -o option.
