package package_name [[add_delete_switch]]

You can use package with both the initial installation and upgrade options.

package designates whether a package is to be added to or deleted from the software group that is to be installed on the system.

You must specify package_name in the form SUNWname. To view detailed information about packages and their names, on an installed system use the pkginfo -l command or Admintool. In Admintool, choose Software from the Browse menu.

add_delete_switch represents the option add or delete, which you use to indicate whether to add or delete the specified package. If you do not specify add_delete_switch, add is used by default.

When you use package for an upgrade, the JumpStart program performs the following actions:

• All packages already on the system are automatically upgraded.

• If you specify package_name add and package_name is not installed on the system, the package is installed.

• If you specify package_name delete and package_name is installed on the system, the package is deleted before the upgrade begins.

• If you specify package_name delete and package_name is not installed on the system, the package is not installed if the package is part of a cluster that is designated to be installed.
