System Management
Overview of HP Stage/iX
STAGEMAN Utility
Using the STAGEMAN utility, you can control and obtain information
about your HP Stage/iX environment.
Uninstalling HP Stage/iX
The HP Stage/iX environment can be uninstalled any time there is no
active staging area. This action deletes all staging areas and any files
and directories that HP Stage/iX has built. This activity does not just
turn off HP Stage/iX; it completely removes any and all files associated
with the environment.
Safety Features
There are two safety nets available for HP Stage/iX users:
STARTBASE is an ISL utility which always points to the Base
version of START. If your system ever gets into a state
where you cannot boot from the last staging area you
have SET to be activated, you can enter the STARTBASE
command at the ISL prompt to boot your system back
to the Base.
STAGEISL is an ISL utility that provides users with a subset of the
STAGEMAN functionality when the system is down.
Specifically, it allows you to LIST the available staging
areas, get the STATUS of the Stage/iX environment, and
SET to either a staging area or the Base.
HP Stage/iX HELP
Help is available for all HP Stage/iX functions from within the HP
Patch/iX, STAGEMAN, and STAGEISL facilities. With STAGEMAN or
STAGEISL, use the HELP command. With HP Patch/iX, help is available
in HP Stage/iX context with the [F1] function key.
