5.10 Setting a Staging Area

In this section you set a staging area, that is, you select the staging area that the system will boot and operate from on the next reboot. This activity requires system manager capabilities.

To set a staging area:

Log on from the console (if you are not already logged on) and start the spooler and streams device.
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI :LIMIT 1,1 : SPOOLER print_device;START :STREAMS streams_device
Common print_device values are LP or 6. A common streams_device value is 10.
Ignore the group out of connect time warning, if it displays.
Start HP Stage/iX:
:STAGEMAN
Remove any old staging areas. Use DELETE (DEL) in stageman.
Set the staging area the system will boot and operate from:
STAGEMAN> SET STAGE= stage_name
where stage_name is the name of the staging area that contains the patches and operating system changes you are making.

Refer to Appendix G “HP Stage/iX Reference” for additional information on the HP Stage/iX commands.




	NOTE: The changes do not take place until the next reboot. In other words, the staging area is not activated until boot time (section 5.14).

Setting a Staging Area completed. Go to the next section on your checklist.
