To Update an Installed Component

When you install an updated version of a component, only those files that have been modified are downloaded and installed. Files that have been removed in the updated package are removed during the update process.

1. Obtain a list of only the installed packages that have available updates:

   pkg list -u

   Information similar to the following is displayed:

   NAME (AUTHORITY)                              VERSION         STATE      UFIX

2. Install a new version of a package.

   Use the following syntax: pkg install package-name. For example:

   pkg install metro

Full syntax and options for using the pkg command are described in the pages in the as-install /pkg/man/ directory. These reference pages are not displayed by using the man command. Instead, use a command such as more or cat.

To Update All Installed Components in an Image

Enterprise Server enables you to maintain multiple installation images on a single system. When you update an installation image, all the components that are present in that image are updated to new versions, if new versions are available. When you install updated versions of components, only those files that have been modified are downloaded and installed. Files that have been removed in the updated package are removed during the update process.

1. Install all packages for the image.

   Use the following syntax: pkg install image-name. For example:

   pkg image-update

   Information similar to the following is displayed:

   DOWNLOAD                                     PKGS       FILES     XFER (MB)
   Completed                                    6/6     729/729   21.59/21.59
