NAME

6       updatemedia - modify Solaris media with patches and packages
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/bin/updatemedia  -d media-root [-v] [-o iso] [-l label]
10            pkg_or_patch [pkg_or_patch ...]

DESCRIPTION

14       The  updatemedia  utility takes a list of patches and packages as input
15       and updates the install miniroot in media-root (the root  directory  of
16       an on-disk image of a Solaris installation media) to include the speci‐
17       fied patches and packages. These patches and packages are  also  placed
18       in  a subdirectory called DU under the Solaris install image. For exam‐
19       ple:
20
21         media-root/Solaris_10/DU
22
23
24
25
26       When booting a system from the updated media, the patches and  packages
27       will  be part of the booted Solaris image. They will also be applied to
28       the target system being  installed  at  the  end  of  the  installation
29       process.
30
31
32       If  -o  is  specified,  a  bootable  ISO  image  is created in the file
33       media.iso that contains the Solaris install media. The  ISO  image  can
34       then  be  burned  onto  a  CD/DVD  with  utilities  such  as cdrw(1) or
35       cdrecord(1). (The latter is not a SunOS man page.)
