HP Stage/iX Commands
289
The LIST command can be used to view the current status (valid or invalid) of a staging area. The VALIDATE
command will set the valid flag, allowing a particular staging area to be used.
The INVALIDATE command can be abbreviated INVAL.
Syntax
INVALIDATE [STAGE=]stage_name
Parameters
[[STAGE=]stage_name (required)
The name of the HP Stage/iX staging area to be invalidated. This must be a legal 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”.
Example
STAGEMAN> INVAL FOO
LIST (L)
The LIST command will give you a list of HP Stage/iX staging areas. Wildcard characters are accepted when
listing staging areas.
By default the LIST command will display the name of the staging area, the last modified date, a flag
indicating whether or not the staging area is valid or invalid (see VALIDATE/INVALIDATE commands), and the
brief description associated with the staging area.
In addition, an asterisk (*) will be displayed at the end of the staging area name if the staging area is active
(in use); a caret (^) will be displayed at the end of the staging area name if the staging area will be used for
the next system boot (see the SET command).
The LIST command will also list more detailed information about the files that are in a particular staging
area, and/or the patches that are staged in a particular staging area.
The LIST command can be abbreviated L.
Syntax
LIST [[STAGE=]stage_name] [;{NOFILES}] [;{NOPATCHES}]
{FILES} {PATCHES}
Parameters
[[STAGE=]stage_name] (optional)
This parameter is used to designate a staging area to be viewed. The staging area name can be either a valid
HP Stage/iX stage name, or a pattern with MPE wildcards. All of the usual MPE wildcard characters (@, ?, #,
etc.) are allowed. The default value for this parameter is @ (which will list ALL staging areas).
Staging area names are case sensitive.
[;{NOFILES}] (optional)
{ FILES}
