inty (install_type) - install a new type.
usage: inty type_name source_volume [-n node_spec] [-l] [-r] [-t] [-f] {cl}
DESCRIPTION
inty installs a type from one node to another. It installs both the type
name and type manager on the target node (given by the -n option).
This command does not install trait-specific type managers, and does not
install any type manager at all when you use the -trait option.
type_name (required)
Specify the name of the type to be installed.
source_volume (required)
Specify the pathname of the source volume from which to
copy the type name and type manager.
OPTIONS
-n node_spec
Specify the node on which the type is to be installed (see
node_spec(5)). You may also specify the entry directory of a
volume mounted for software installation, as shown in the
example below. If this option is omitted, the type is installed
on the current node.
-l List the results of the installation.
-r Replace any existing type name/manager pair.
-t[rait] Install a trait instead of a type.
-f[ormat] Systems before SR10.1 did not support named traits. The first
time you install a named trait on your system, you may see an
error message showing that the types file has an older format.
If you see that message, you must use the -format option to
switch the types file to a newer version.
The new (SR10.1) format is upwards compatible with the old
format, and should not interfere with older nodes. Note,
however, that older nodes may mistakenly see named traits as
types.
EXAMPLES
$ inty example_type //test_vol
Type "example_type" installed.
$ inty example_type //my_vol -n //test_vol -l
Type "example_type" installed on volume //test_vol.
