HP Stage/iX Commands
Syntax
CREATE [STAGE=] stage_name [[;DESC=] quoted_string ]
Parameters
[STAGE=]stage_name (required)
This parameter specifies the name to be given to the newly created staging area. The
staging area name can be up 16 characters in length. The staging area name must be a
valid MPE/iX directory name. For this reason, the staging area name cannot contain a “/”
character. It may contain letters (upper or lower case), numbers, and the special characters
“_”, “-”, and “.”.
Staging area names are case sensitive. “STAGE1” is not equivalent to “stage1” or “Stage1”.
[;DESC=]quoted_string (optional)
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 create a new staging area called “new_stage” with the description “misc. patches”:
STAGEMAN> CREATE NEW_STAGE;DESC="MISC.PATCHES"
DELETE (DEL)
The DELETE command will delete an HP Stage/iX staging area and its contents. If the
system is currently booted from an HP Stage/iX staging area, then that staging area
cannot be deleted. In addition, if a staging area has been designated for the next boot (see
SET command), then it cannot be deleted.
The DELETE command will prompt you for confirmation to delete the staging area before it
is deleted. You will not be prompted if the ;NOCONFIRM option is specified.
It is acceptable to delete a staging area that another staging area was created from. Each
staging area has all the information to function from the committed Base. A staging area
created from another staging area incorporates all the information from the first staging
area.
The DELETE command can be abbreviated DEL.
