==== Rock 5.4.3 Update Command - Steps from Rocks Discussion Group - Not Try ====

'''Note:''' rocks update command is broken and will be fixed in the later versions

* To update Rocks 5.4.3 frontend with latest rocks updates, use the following steps for now:
<syntaxhighlight>
1. Create a roll out of the rocks-update site.
# cd /state/partition1
# rocks create mirror \
http://www.rocksclusters.org/ftp-site/pub/rocks/updates/5.4.3/x86_64/RPMS/ arch=x86_64 \ 
rollname=rocks-updates version=5.4.3
# rocks add roll rocks-updates-5.4.3-0.x86_64.disk1.iso 
# rocks enable roll rocks-updates

2. Recreate your distribution
# cd /export/rocks/install
# rm -rf cachedir rocks-dist
# rocks create distro

3. If you do not have any rolls other than the default Rocks provided rolls, you can now run:
'WARNING: Do this only if your yum configuration does not point to an outside repository that
         you have no control over'
# yum update

3.a. If it states that "No updates are available", you can run
# yum clean all
# yum makecache
# yum update
