updatemedia(1M)		System Administration Commands	       updatemedia(1M)

NAME
       updatemedia - modify Solaris media with patches and packages

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  updatemedia	 utility takes a list of patches and packages as input
       and updates the install miniroot in media-root (the root	 directory  of
       an on-disk image of a Solaris installation media) to include the speci‐
       fied patches and packages. These patches and packages are  also	placed
       in  a subdirectory called DU under the Solaris install image. For exam‐
       ple:

	 media-root/Solaris_10/DU

       When booting a system from the updated media, the patches and  packages
       will  be part of the booted Solaris image. They will also be applied to
       the target system being	installed  at  the  end	 of  the  installation
       process.

       If  -o  is  specified,  a  bootable  ISO	 image	is created in the file
       media.iso that contains the Solaris install media. The  ISO  image  can
       then  be	 burned	 onto  a  CD/DVD  with	utilities  such	 as cdrw(1) or
       cdrecord(1). (The latter is not a SunOS man page.)

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -d media-root

	   Top-level directory of on-disk image of Solaris installation media.
	   This is option must be specified.

       -o iso

	   Create a Solaris ISO image of media-root.

       -l label

	   Label/volume	 name of the ISO image (if -o option is specified). If
	   -o is not specified, the name of  Solaris  directory	 under	media-
	   root, for example, Solaris_10, will be used.

       -v

	   Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       pkg_or_patch [pkg_or_patch ...]

	   One	or  more  patches  or  packages (you can have both patches and
	   packages in a single command) with which the	 Solaris  installation
	   media media-root will be updated.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Updating a Solaris Install Image with Patch and Package

       The  following  command	updates	 the Solaris install image in s10u1 by
       adding patch 123456-07 and package SUNWfoo.

	 # /usr/bin/updatemedia -d s10u1 SUNWfoo 123456-07
