HP Stage/iX Commands
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
CREATE (CR)
The CREATE command will create an empty HP Stage/iX staging area. At the time the
staging area is created, you are allowed to specify a brief description for the staging area.
Staging areas are normally created by HP Patch/iX. A default description is associated
with the staging area at that time, but you can change that description using the CHANGE
command.
When a staging area is initially created, it will be considered “invalid”. It will remain
invalid until it is validated by the VALIDATE command.
You must specify a name for the staging area to be created. The staging area name must be
a valid HP Stage/iX staging area name (see below), and cannot be the name of a staging
area that already exists. The name “BASE” is reserved by HP Stage/iX to refer to the Base
system software environment (see the SET command). You are not allowed to create a
staging area named “BASE.” This includes all forms of the word BASE, Base, or base.
HP Stage/iX staging areas are created as sub-directories under the HP Stage/iX root
directory. The HP Stage/iX root directory is /SYS/hpstage/. The staging area “stage_1”
for example would be kept in the MPE directory /SYS/hpstage/stage_1/.
The CREATE command can be abbreviated CR.
