HP Stage/iX Commands
Syntax
CHANGE [STAGE=] stage_name [[;NAME=] new_name ]
[[;DESC=] quoted_string ]
Parameters
[STAGE=]stage_name (required)
The current name of the HP Stage/iX staging area. This must be a valid staging area name
for a pre-existing staging area. The staging area cannot be in use, or designated for use on
the next boot (see the SET command).
Staging area names are case sensitive. “STAGE1” is not equivalent to “stage1” or “Stage1”.
[;NAME=]new_name (optional)
If this parameter is omitted then the current name of the staging area will be unchanged.
Otherwise, this name will be used for the new name of the staging area.
This must be a valid HP Stage/iX staging area name and must be unique. The staging area
name can be up to 16 characters in length. The name must be a valid MPE/iX directory
name. For this reason, the name cannot contain a slash (/) character. It can contain letters
(upper or lower case), numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), dash (-), and
period (.).
Staging area names are case sensitive. “STAGE1” is not equivalent to “stage1” or “Stage1”.
[;DESC=]quoted_string (optional)
If this parameter is omitted then the current description for the staging area will be
unchanged. Otherwise, this description will replace the old description for the staging
area.
This parameter must be a quoted string if it contains any delimiter characters (like blanks,
commas, semi-colons, or any other punctuation characters). The description can be any
string up to 128 characters in length.
Example
To change the name of a staging area:
STAGEMAN> CHANGE old_stage;NAME=new_stage
To change the description associated with a staging area:
STAGEMAN> CHANGE old_stage;DESC="network reliability

The COMMENT command can be abbreviated #.
