updmv(8) System Manager's Manual 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 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. Copies the CFI and UFI files and those files listed in the inventory files to the specified location. PARAMETERS Specifies the storage area of the files. This area can be a tape de- vice, 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 reg- istered 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 installa- tion 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 op- erating system. The CFI file identifies files that were customized af- ter the installation. Using both of these files, the updmv utility ob- tains 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 parame- ter. 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 util- ity. EXAMPLES 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 In this example, the updmv utility stores the files on a disk device: # updmv -o /mnt/mydata In this example, the updmv utility stores the files in a RIS server area: # updmv -o midvale: 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.
