To update the image you need to run:

rpm --root /var/lib/systemimager/image/X -Uvh Y.rpm (where X is your
image name and Y is the rpm file)

and then probably hand edit
/var/lib/systemimager/image/X/etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf
with the correct names (it is fairly obvious).  This file is run to
configure the nodes after image install.  (Note, you can also make
changes in the override directory instead.)

Note: this is all for OSCAR 2.3, but I think that the systemimager stuff
in earlier OSCAR versions was similar.
