5.5 PatchiX Training

Figure 8-2. HP Patch/iX Main Menu before tape creation.
HP Patch/iX allows you control over how to continue. You can choose to continue from
where you left off or select any of the previous menu items to start at an earlier step. For
example if a patch had a problem being added to the NL, you could choose to restart,
select the Patch Qualification menu item, Veto the patch, and then start the Create Tape
phase again. If on the other hand the problem was caused by a bad tape that you have
replaced, then you would want to start where you left off in the Create Tape screen. If
you go back through qualification then all the steps in the Create Tape screen will be
done again, if you go to Create Tape immediately then HP Patch/iX will continue where
it left off, since no changes were made (see Figure 8-2 above).
