Task 7: Submit the Request
DSM/SCM processes the request as scheduled and begins the appropriate processes.
Depending on the number of software changes, this could take several hours. For
information on managing requests, such as canceling or restarting a request, see
Section 16, Managing Requests.
For Build/Apply/Snapshot requests, DSM/SCM creates the activation package and
places the new software on the system’s subvolumes. When the Apply request is
completed, a snapshot is automatically created, returned to the host system, and
received into the host database.
