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:

  1. 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
    :SPOOLERprint_device;START
    :STREAMSstreams_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.

  2. Start HP Stage/iX:

    :STAGEMAN
  3. 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.
