update-ux Syntax

 Specifies the source containing the new software depot. Possible locations are a local directory, a mounted CD containing a depot, or a remote system-and-depot combination. All paths used in the source_location must be absolute paths. If source_location is a remote system/depot combination, the remote system should be specified first, followed by the absolute path to the remote depot, separated by a colon with no spaces; for example: swperf:/var/spool/sw

Prints the usage statement.

Specifies the OS architecture (word width), 32 bit or 64 bit. Omitting this defaults to the system’s currently set OS word-width. update-ux will not install an unsupported word-width (only 64-bit OS is supported on B-, C- and J-class systems). Changing an existing system from 64-bit OS to 32-bit OS is not supported.

update-ux issues a message and waits for your response to continue whenever something unexpected is attempted. Specify -n at first (or omit this option) to have update-ux “not continue” when an error is issued. When you have reviewed/resolved all errors, use -y instead of -n to have update-ux ignore all messages which would otherwise cause update-ux to wait for a user response.

Specifies the swinstall interactive user interface to select software products from a depot or bundle during the update. For more information, see the swinstall(1M) manpage.

Specifies swinstall options to be applied during the update. For a typical update, no swinstall options are required. swinstall -p (preview) is not supported. For information on swinstall options, see the swinstall(1m) manpage or the Software Distributor Administration Guide.

Specifies one or more optional software bundles to be updated, such as an operating environment (OE) bundle name, a network-driver bundle or Ignite-UX. If an OE bundle name is not included on the command line, only the core OS will be updated.
