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. Remove any old staging areas. Use DELETE (DEL) in stageman.
4. Set the staging area the system will boot and operate from:
STAGEMAN> SET STAGE=stage_name
