C    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.
