Oops, you are right I didn't see the si_updateclient tool. Thanks. The other tool you mean is propably si_pushupdate which connects to the clients via ssh and starts the update process (propably just executing si_updateclient). I don't know how useful this will be for me however, since I don't want to manually start all clients to make the update (they should just grab the update the next time they are booted).

For differential updates, you: 4. run si_updateclient on all the other machines running that image Maybe you just didn't see the si_updateclient tool? I believe there is also an si_pushimage command, but haven't looked into it - it sounds like it would b an alternative to si_prepareclient (which pulls an image).
