Applying the ChangesAfter you have tested and are satisfied with the changes from an active staging area, use the HP Stage/iX COMMIT command to permanently apply the changes to your system. This accomplishes the following:
Using Multiple Staging AreasYou can have more than one staging area at a time. Each staging area contains the difference, or delta, between the Base OS and a patched OS. Staging area stage_1 contains the changes to the Base from patch_set_1. Staging area stage_2 contains the changes to the Base from only patch_set_2. You can use the SET command and boot from either staging area stage_1 or stage_2. Refer to Figure G-4 "Creating Another Staging Area, from the Base Location" for more information. Figure G-4 Creating Another Staging Area, from the Base Location If you create an additional staging area, stage_name2, while operating from another staging area, stage_name1, the additional staging area, stage_name2, will contain all the changes to the Base from patch_set_1 plus the new patches in patch_set_2. Refer to Figure G-5 "Creating Another Staging Area from an Existing Staging Area" for more information. Figure G-5 Creating Another Staging Area from an Existing Staging Area
