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

FLAGS
  -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.

PARAMETERS
  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 parameter 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/nrmt*.	For disk
      storage, specify the complete directory path.  For storage in a RIS
      server area, the client must be registered in the server's RIS
      database. When specifying the server, the server name must be followed
      by a colon (:).

DESCRIPTION
  The updmv utility is a part of the Reinstallation Toolkit (RITKIT).  You
  must have superuser privileges to run this utility.  During a new
  installation, there are some user files and customized files that can be
  overwritten.	To ease the task of reproducing these files, the RITKIT
  utilities enable you to identify and save files from the current
  installation environment for later integration into the new installation
  environment.	The updmv utility is used to move these files to a storage
  area or from the storage area to the update area.

  The RITKIT utilities, genufi and invsync, create a User File Inventory
  (UFI) file and a Customized File Inventory (CFI) file, respectively.	The
  UFI file identifies user files created after you installed the operating
  system.  The CFI file identifies files that were customized after the
  installation.	 Using both of these files, the updmv utility obtains the
  list of files that must be stored.


  To store the files listed in the CFI and UFI files, you must specify the
  updmv utility with the -o option followed by the location parameter.	Note
  that 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, you must then specify the updmv utility with the -i option
  followed by the location parameter.  The updmv utility will then move the
  files to the /var/adm/install/update directory so that they can be merged
  into the new installation environment using the updmerge utility.

EXAMPLES
   1.  In this example, the updmv utility saves the files to a tape device.
       Note, you must use a no-rewind tape device.
	    # updmv -o /dev/nrmt0h

   2.  In this example, the updmv utility stores the files on a disk device:
	    # updmv -o /mnt/mydata

   3.  In this example, the updmv utility stores the files in a RIS server
       area:
	    # updmv -o midvale:

   4.  To restore these files, replace the -o option with the -i option.  For
       example, to restore the files that were stored in a RIS server area,
       specify the following:
	    # updmv -i midvale:

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

FILES
  /usr/.smdb./CFI
