Updating Image Attributes from the Command Line

If you upgrade an image, the image attributes should reflect any upgrades you have made.

With the image -u command, you can update the following attributes:

• Image name

• Image size

• Architecture

• Operating environment

• Image description

• Archive type

• Image configuration file

Command usage: image -u -N image name -S image size -A architecture- O operating sytem -U image description -T image archive type -P configuration file image ID

For any image, except for a disk image, if you specify the -T option, you must also specify the -P option.

Example 3–6 image -u Command

image -u -S 3000000000 101

You can specify a new disk layout for a global flash image using the image -u command. You can view the default disk layout in the output of the image -lV command:

image -lV 16

To Update Image Attributes from the Command Line

Steps

1. Obtain a list of the images using the command:

   image -ls IMAGE_ID IMAGE_NAME CUSTOMER DISK_VOL_ID SIZE OS 2 solaris __grid__ 22001/5 8631 Solaris 1087 solaris_dhcpfix __grid__ 22001/22 8631 Solaris

2. Run the image -u command with the options of the attributes you want to update.

   image -l 22 IMAGE_ID IMAGE_NAME CUSTOMER SIZE OS TYPE STATE 22 js-sample __grid__ 30000000000 unknown disk_image NOT READY LOCATION: nfs://3001/images/master-images/js-sample image -u -S 40000000000 22 Updated image: 22 image -l 22 IMAGE_ID IMAGE_NAME CUSTOMER SIZE OS TYPE STATE 22 js-sample __grid__ 40000000000 unknown disk_image NOT READY LOCATION: nfs://3001/images/master-images/js-sample
