How to update_all from Command Line

Environment

Problem

How do you update_all from the command line?

Solution

1. Create an ASCII file that lists all the software you have installed. Use lslpp -l, redirect it to a output file, and edit it so it looks something like:

     bos.rte.install
     bos.sysmgt.sysbr
     .....
   

   This file will have the fileset or package name, one per line.

2. Run the installp with the -f flag. For example:

          installp -agXd/dev/cd0 -e /tmp/install.log -f/<path>/<file>
   

   <file> is the ASCII file created in step 1, and the use of the -e flag logs the output to /tmp/install.log.
