Create or Add to a Fix Image Based on an Inventory File
1. Go to the offline machine that has the installation directory on which you want to base the inventory file.
2. Start Update Manager and then choose to Proceed to Update Manager.
3. Choose to Create inventory. Specify the full path to the directory in which to generate an inventory file that will list the operating system, the products in the specified installation directory, and the fixes that are already installed on those products. Update Manager names the inventory file operating_systemmachine_namesuite_releaseyyyymmdd_hhmmss.
4. Copy the inventory file to an online machine.
5. On the online machine, start Update Manager, and then choose to Create or add to an image.
6. Choose to create a complete image containing both Update Manager and product fixes and specify the directory and file name to use for the image file. Also choose the operating system on which you will run Update Manager and create the image. The operating system must be the same as the machine on which you generated the inventory file.
