HP Patch/iX is the recommended method for applying patches
and is required for applying Reactive patches. It is delivered with
each PowerPatch tape set and each Reactive patch. Hewlett-Packard
recommends that you always restore HP Patch/iX from the patch tape.
This ensures that you are using the most recent version of HP Patch/iX.
HP Patch/iX is a screen-based, menu-driven patch management
tool. Refer to Chapter 1 for an introduction to HP Patch/iX. For
an user's guide, refer to Appendix F “HP Patch/iX Reference”
HP Stage/iX is another patch management tool. It uses the
HP Patch/iX interface for creating staging areas, then uses a command
line interface for applying the staging areas to your system software.
Refer to Chapter 1 for an introduction to HP Stage/iX. For an user's
guide, refer to Appendix G “HP Stage/iX Reference”
For Phase I of HP Patch/iX, log on from a terminal, not the
console; otherwise the console messages interfere with Patch/iX.
If you are using a PC as a terminal, it must have Reflection installed
with MPE/iX option. When you are ready for Phase II of Patch/iX,
you must log onto the console.
