6.10 Permanently Applying a Staging Area
You have these two options:
• If you want to continue testing the set of patches you applied with the booted staging area, proceed to
“Finishing Up.”
• If you have tested and confirmed that you want to keep the set of patch changes, and if you have
determined that you will not want to back out the patches, then proceed to Step 1 and commit to the
staging area.
CAUTION You will no longer be able to re-create the original base system software without performing a
backdate if you proceed to Step 1.
To permanently apply a staging area:
1. Start HP Stage/iX, type at the MPE/iX prompt:
:STAGEMAN
2. Ensure that you are currently running from the desired staging area:
STAGEMAN> STATUS
The following is a sample HP Stage/iX return:
Last booted with: stage_1
Next boot will be with: BASE
3. Commit to the staging area.
STAGEMAN> COMMIT stage_name
HP Stage/iX permanently places the staging area changes onto the base, removes the archive of the
previous base and removes the staging area. This releases the disk space taken by the archive and the
staging area.
• Permanently Applying a Staging Area completed. Go to the next section on your checklist.
