Perform the steps in this section only if you are planning
to Distribute a Staging Area to a Remote system. If you are performing a Manage Patch by Staging Area for only
a Local system, skip sections 5.8 and 5.9, and proceed to "5.10
Setting a Staging Area." | | | |  | NOTE: You can only use the EXPORT
and IMPORT commands of Stage/iX
for applying patches to systems that are on the identical base.
Stage/iX will not verify whether or not your machines are on the
same base release. | | | | |
To prepare for distributing staging areas: Log
on from the console (if you are not already logged on),
start the spooler, and streams device. :HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
:LIMIT 1,1
:SPOOLERprint_device;START
:STREAMSstreams_device |
Common print_device
values are LP or 6. A common streams_device
value is 10. Ignore the GROUP OUR OF CONNECT TIME
warning, if it displays. Start HP Stage/iX. Prepare the staging area, execute the EXPORT
command. STAGEMAN>EXPORT sa_name;option |
where sa_name
is the name of the staging area to be distributed. Record your sa_name on
your checklist. option specifies the export
file mode. The default is NOPACK.
The EXPORT
options are: - TAPE
creates a regular STORE
tape, which can be imported on the remote machine with the ;TAPE
option. For the tape option, reply
to the tape request. - PACK
creates a single packaged file in the directory
/SYS/hpstage/export with the staging
area name as the filename. - NOPACK
places all files related to the staging area in
the /SYS/hpstage/export directory.
Preparing a Staging Area
for Remote Distribution completed. Go to the next section on your
checklist.
