NAME
xen-update-image - Update the software installed upon offline Xen images. SYNOPSIS
xen-update-image [options] imageName1 imageName2 .. imageNameN Help Options: --help Show this scripts help information. --manual Read this scripts manual. --version Show the version number and exit.

OPTIONS
--dir Specify the directory which contains the image(s). --evms Specify the EVMS container which contains the image(s). --help Show the script help. --lvm Specify the LVM volume group which contains the image(s). --manual Read the manual. --version Show the version number and exit. DESCRIPTION
xen-update-image is a simple script which allows you to update a Xen image of Debian which has been created with xen-create-image. It does this by mounting the image inside a temporary directory then running: apt-get update apt-get upgrade NOTE If the image is already running within Xen this will cause corruption otherwise it will allow you to update your image without booting it. EXAMPLES
The following assumes there are two images which are not currently running. The images are called 'test.my.flat', and 'x11.my.flat'. Updating both images can be accomplished by executing: xen-update-images --dir=/home/xen test.my.flat x11.my.flat AUTHORS
