Install Deactivate - HP FlexFabric 7900 Series Command Reference Manual

For software changes to survive a reboot, you must execute the install commit command after you
execute the install deactivate command.
The install activate command updates both the current software image list and the main startup
software image list. You do not need to use the install commit command to commit the software
changes.
To change backup startup images or add inactive images as main startup images, you must use the
boot-loader file command. For more information about main and backup startup software images,
see Fundamental Configuration Guide.

Parameters
filename: Specifies a .bin software image file. The file must be saved in the root directory of a storage
medium on the global active MPU. This argument can be a case insensitive string of up to 63
characters in the storage medium:/filename.bin format.
all: Specifies all MPUs.
slot slot-number: Specifies an MPU by its slot number. (In standalone mode.)
chassis chassis-number slot slot-number: Specifies an MPU on an IRF member device. The
chassis-number argument represents the member ID of the IRF member device. The slot-number
argument represents the slot number of the MPU. (In IRF mode.)
Usage guidelines
Patch images stop running in memory after being deactivated. To prevent a deactivated image from
running after a reboot, you must commit the software change by using the install commit command.
At reboot, a subordinate device automatically synchronizes the master device's configuration and
status data. You must wait for the synchronization to complete before using the install deactivate
command on the subordinate device.
