# -u (--upgrade)

The `-u` (`--upgrade`) option upgrades an old virtual machine image to use the latest Oracle JRockit Virtual Edition binary file.

Note:

The current version of Oracle JRockit Virtual Edition does not support the `-u` (`--upgrade`) option. Section D.2 describes an alternate method for upgrading an earlier version of a virtual machine image.

Syntax

    java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar -u vm_cfg jrockitve.bin

Note:

For information about the syntax conventions, see Documentation Conventions for Command-Line Syntax.

Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`vm_cfg` | Path and name of the configuration file (`vm.cfg`) of the virtual machine image which needs to be upgraded.
`jrockitve.bin` | The path of the directory that contains the new release of the `jrockitve.bin` file.

Example

    java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar --upgrade vm.cfg jrockitve-ia32/jrockitve.bin

This command checks whether the components in the `jrockitve.bin` file that you used for upgrade is newer than the file components in the virtual machine (specified by the configuration file `vm.cfg`) and upgrades them to the latest version.
