updmv(8)							      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

OPTIONS
       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.

OPERANDS
       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  reg‐
	      ister  the client in the server's RIS database. When you specify
	      the server, the server name must be followed by a colon (:).

DESCRIPTION
       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 cre‐
       ated  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  instal‐
       lation  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
       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
       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.

FILES
       Customized File Inventory User File Inventory
