To Install a Solaris Flash Archive With a Profile Keyword (Command-Line Interface)

This procedure enables you to install a Solaris Flash archive and use the archive_location keyword at the command line rather than from a profile file. You can quickly retrieve an archive without the use of a profile file.

1. Log in as superuser.

2. Type:

   # luupgrade -f -n BE_name -s os_image_path -J 'profile'

   -f	Indicates to upgrade an operating system from a Solaris Flash archive.
   -n BE_name	Specifies the name of the boot environment that is to be upgraded.
   -s os_image_path	Specifies the path name of a directory that contains an operating system image. This directory can be on an installation medium, such as a DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, or it can be an NFS or UFS directory.
   -J 'profile'	Specifies the archive_location profile keyword. For the keyword values, see archive_location Keyword.

   The boot environment is ready to be activated.

   Example 33–8 Installing a Solaris Flash Archive By Using a Profile (Command-Line Interface)

   
   

   In this example, an archive is installed on the second_disk boot environment. The -J option and the archive_location keyword is used to retrieve the archive. All files are overwritten on second_disk except shareable files.
