HP Stage/iX Commands
294
SET
The SET command is used to designate a particular HP Stage/iX staging area for use on the next boot. When a
staging area is in use, it is considered “active”. The process of “activating” a staging area requires that the
system be re-booted (using the ISL> START command). The SET command is used to designate which staging
area should be used on the next reboot. On each subsequent reboot (START) the system will automatically use
the same staging area as was used on the previous reboot, unless the system manager changes the default by
using the SET command.
You must specify the name of a validated HP Stage/iX staging area to the SET command. The SET command
will accept the string “BASE” to indicate that the system should be booted from the BASE on the next reboot.
The SET command cannot be abbreviated.
Syntax
SET [[STAGE=]stage_name]
Parameters
[[STAGE=]stage_name (required)
The name of the HP Stage/iX staging area to be used for the SET. This must be a legal staging area name for
a pre-existing staging area.
Staging area names are case sensitive. “STAGE1” is not equivalent to “stage1” or “Stage1”.
Example
STAGEMAN> SET STAGE=new_staging_area
SETDEFAULT (SETD)
The SETDEFAULT command sets the default values for a particular file to be used by the STAGEFILE command.
For example: the SETDEFAULT command can be used to the set the defaults for NL.PUB.SYS, so that whenever
an NL is staged using the STAGEFILE command, the values for all of the STAGEFILE parameters can be
omitted.
There is a file, STAGEDEF.PUB.SYS, that contains all of the default values for files that make up HP software
products. This file contains multiple SETDEFAULT commands. The STAGEDEF file is implicitly executed
whenever STAGEMAN is run.
The SETDEFAULT command can be abbreviated as SETD.
