Use the update-service subcommand to update the image associated with an alias of a service that was created using an IPS AI net image package. A new service is created with the updated image, and the alias is changed to use the new service.
To use a different repository when updating a service, add the –p option to the update-service subcommand. If the –p option is not specified, the publisher used is the publisher that was used to create the image of the service for which svc-name is an alias.
If the –s option is not specified, the newest available version of the install-image/solaris-auto-install package is used from the publisher.
Example 8-48 Updating an Install ServiceThis example creates a new service, and changes the default-i386 alias to use this new service.
# installadm update-service -n default-i386Example 8-49 Using a Different Repository When Updating an Install Service
