5.10 Setting a Staging Area
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:
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
: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.
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.
