Preparing Your System

4.4 Initializing HP Stage/iX

HP Stage/iX is part of the FOS. It is installed when the system software is updated to version 5.5 or 6.0. You

must be on version 5.5 or greater before you can use HP Stage/iX. You cannot use HP Stage/iX to update

from version 5.5 to 6.0.

NOTE Not all patches are stageable. At the time of release 6.5, Stage/iX cannot handle patches which

involve System configuration files, MMSAVE.MPEXL.SYS, nonsystem volume set files, and

patches with files that contain jobs that are streamed during patch installation. Patches will be

identified as stageable or not stageable during the installation process.
