HP Stage/iX Commands
The COMMIT command will perform several steps. It will first prompt you for confirmation
to commit to the current software environment. (The ;NOCONFIRM option can be used to
suppress the confirmation prompt.) The COMMIT command makes all of the necessary
changes to the system software environment so that the current system software becomes
the new Base. Finally, the COMMIT command deletes the HP Stage/iX staging area.
When you commit to a stage, any other stages that were created from the same Base, as
the committed stage, may no longer be valid with respect to the
new Base.
The COMMIT command cannot be abbreviated.
Syntax
COMMIT [;{ CONFIRM}]
{NOCONFIRM}
Parameters
[;{ CONFIRM}] (optional) {NOCONFIRM}
The ;CONFIRM or ;NOCONFIRM option specifies whether or not the COMMIT command will
prompt you for confirmation. If you specify ;NOCONFIRM, then STAGEMAN will
NOT prompt
you for confirmation. The default is ;CONFIRM.
Example
To “commit” to the current staging area (“stage1” in the example below):
STAGEMAN> STATUS
Currently active staging area: stage1
Staging area to be used for next boot: stage1.
STAGEMAN> COMMIT ;NOCONFIRM
COMPLETE
The COMPLETE command marks a staging area as complete. When a staging area is marked
as complete, it tells STAGEMAN that all files that should belong to it have successfully been
staged, and the staging area is now a complete unit. A staging area will not validate until
it has been marked as complete.
Syntax
COMPLETE [STAGE=] stage_name
Parameters
[STAGE=]stage_name (required)
The name of the staging area to be marked as complete.
Example
To mark staging area “Stage_1” as complete:
STAGEMAN> COMPLETE STAGE_1
