5.5 PatchiX Training

Phase I: Creating a Patch Installation
Tape
Running HP Patch/iX
You can install HP Patch/iX by restoring it and its catalog from the patch tape with the
following command:
:FILE PPT; DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *PPT; PATCH@.INSTALL.SYS;SHOW
When HP Patch/iX is installed on the system you will run it by logging into the system as
MANAGER.SYS in the INSTALL group and typing PATCHIX. It is recommended that
this be done on a terminal other than the console. (RCE's should also note that Patch/iX
does not work correctly with the workstation terminal emulator hp2392 - the hpterm
emulator works OK).
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL
:PATCHIX
After a brief initialization phase you will see the login screen (see Figure 3-1 below). The
purpose of this screen is to get the name of the person running HP Patch/iX so that the
name can be logged with the patches that are installed.
