HP Stage/iX is part of the FOS. It is installed when the system software is updated to version 5.5 or 6.0. You must be on version 5.5 or greater before you can use HP Stage/iX. You cannot use HP Stage/iX to update from version 5.5 to 6.0.

NOTE: Not all patches are stageable. At the time of release 6.5, Stage/iX cannot handle patches which involve System configuration files, MMSAVE.MPEXL.SYS, nonsystem volume set files, and patches with files that contain jobs that are streamed during patch installation. Patches will be identified as stageable or not stageable during the installation process.
