Loading a patch file
You must load the correct patch file before performing any patch installation operations.
If you install a patch from a patch file, the system loads the patch file from the patch file location, which
is the root directory of the storage medium.
If you install a patch from a patch package, the system finds the correct patch file in the patch package
file and loads the patch file.
IMPORTANT:
Set the file transfer mode to binary mode before using FTP or TFTP to upload or download patch files.
Otherwise, patch files cannot be parsed properly.
To load a patch file:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Load the patch file from the storage medium to
the patch memory area.
Activating patches
Activating a patch changes its state to ACTIVE. An ACTIVE patch runs in memory until a reboot occurs.
To have a patch continue to run after a reboot, you must change its state to RUNNING.
To activate patches:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Activate patches.
Confirming ACTIVE patches
To have an ACTIVE patch continue to run after a reboot, perform the task in this section.
After you confirm an ACTIVE patch, its state changes to RUNNING and persists after a reboot.
To confirm ACTIVE patches:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Confirm ACTIVE patches.
Uninstalling a patch step by step
