       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

OPERANDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
