This manual page documents briefly the si_updateclient command.
si_updateclient is a program that brings the local client's image up to date with an image on a image server.
A summary of options is included below.
-help
Show summary of options
-version
Display version and copyright information
-server HOSTNAME
Hostname or IP address of the imageserver. Replaces deprecated
-imageserver
option.
-image IMAGENAME
Image from which the client should be updated
-override OVERRIDE
Override module(s) from which to copy additional files. Override directories are useful when you have multiple types of clients that share a subset of files. The image can contain this subset, and you can have an override module for each client type which contains the additional files required for that client type. If the same file exists in an override module and the image, the files in the override module will overwrite those in the image.
You can specify multiple override modules. They will be copied over in the same order the are specified on the command line.
-directory DIRECTORY
Absolute path of the directory to be updated (defaults to "/")
-nobootloader
Don't run the bootloader (lilo, elilo, grub, etc) after update completes. (si_updateclient always runs the bootloader unless specified).
-autoinstall
Autoinstall this client the next time it reboots. This option must
be used if you want your partition scheme to be updated to match
the partition scheme of the image you are updating too. This is
required if the partition scheme of the image you are updating from
differs from the partition scheme of the image you are currently
running, as your system may be left unbootable otherwise.
This option conflicts with -nolilo
.
Updates that use this option cannot take advantage of rsync's
efficient updating mechanism. This process also requires two
reboots. This makes -autoinstall
updates more
consuming.
-flavor FLAVOR
The boot flavor to be used for doing an autoinstall (assumes -autoinstall).
-configure-from DEVICE
Only used with -autoinstall. Stores the network configuration for DEVICE in the /local.cfg file so that the same settings will be used during the autoinstall process.
-ssh-user USERNAME
Username for ssh connection from the client. Only needed if a secure connection is required.
-listing
List available images on imageserver. This option is now deprecated in favor of si_lsimage.
-reboot
Reboot client after update completes
-dry-run
Don't actually modify anything, just show what would be done.
-log STRING
Quoted string for log file format. See the rsyncd.conf(5) man page for options.
