On the HP Patch/iX Main menu, the Create [Stage] [Tape]
option displays if HP Stage/iX is initialized. If HP Stage/iX is
not initialized or, if one or more qualified patches is not stageable,
the Create [Tape] option displays. This
is a required action for patch installation and provides the following
patch installation options:
Creates a staging area
that contains a set of system software files that are modified by
the patches you are applying to your system.
Creates a CSLT/STORE
of patches and (optionally) SUBSYS products that you are applying
to your system.
The CSLT/STORE tape created at the
end of this section contains all the SUBSYS library components.
The balance of the files are restored and applied during Phase II
of the modification process.
Creates a STORE tape of patches
that you are applying to your system.
HP Patch/iX determines which option is appropriate and/or
possible for your system and set of patches:
A CSLT
can be created if any patch with YES
in the Qualified column also has CSLT/Store
in the Tape column.
A store tape can
be created if all of the patches with YES
in the Qualified column have Store-Only in the Tape column.
A Staging area on disk can be created if all of
the patches with YES in the Qualified
column also have YES in the Stage
column.
If HP Stage/iX is not initialized, the Stage column does not
display.
The status of the Tape column does not affect whether patches
can be staged or not.
If HP Stage/iX is initialized, HP Patch/iX prompts
you to specify if you want to create a CSLT/STORE
tape, a staging area, or both.
Once the CSLT or STORE tape,
or staging area on disk, is created, it can then be used to modify
the system.
To create your patch installation stage and/or tape:
From the HP Patch/iX
Main menu, highlight Create [Stage] [Tape]
or Create [Tape] and press [Return].
If HP Stage/iX is initialized, select the appropriate
option:
- S
Create a staging area.
- T
Create a CSLT/STORE
tape.
- B
Create both a staging area and a CSLT/STORE
tape.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you select T to create a CSLT/STORE
tape for backup purposes.
