create update

This command copies an OS update to the N1 System Manager. You can then install the OS update on the provisionable servers.

Description

You can add three different types of OS updates: RPMs for the Linux operating systems and packages or patches for the Solaris operating system.

Synopsis

• Copy one or more OS updates from Linux RPMs, Solaris packages, or Solaris patches:

  create update update file file ostype ostype[,ostype...][adminfile adminfile] [responsefile responsefile]

Parameters

• adminfile – (Solaris package only) A fully qualified path to an admin file.

• file – A fully qualified path to a file accessible from the management server or a URL location to a Linux RPM or Solaris patch/package. A Linux RPM must be a .rpm file, a Solaris package must be either a .pkg or .tar file, and a Solaris patch must be a *.zip file. Note that the .tar file must match the top-level directory name after the tar expansion. For example, if the tar file is SUNWstade.tar, the top-level directory of the tar expansion must be SUNWstade.

  Examples: /tmp/test-i386.rpm or http://updatesite1/rpms/test-i386.rpm

• ostype – A list of OS versions compatible with the OS update. The specified OS type must match the type of OS updates being added. Typically, only one OS type is valid for Solaris OS updates. Valid values are:
