Installation prerequisites

To ensure a successful patch operation and normal device operation after the patch installation:
Make sure each patch file you are installing matches the device model and software version.
•
Save patch files or patch package files to the root directory of the storage medium on the device.
•
Correctly name a patch file in the patch_PATCH-FlAG suffix.bin format. The PATCH-FLAG suffix is
•
predefined and must be the same as the first three characters displayed for the Version field in the
output from the display patch information command. If a patch file is not correctly named, the
system cannot identify the file.
The default system patch file name is patch_mpu.bin for all WLAN-supported cards except for the
HP 830 switching engine.
Installing and running a patch in one step
To install and run patches in one step, use the patch install command. This command changes the state
of installed patches from IDLE to ACTIVE or RUNNING, depending on your choice.
When executing the patch install command, you must choose to run installed patches or disable running
them after a reboot. If you choose to have installed patches continue to run after a reboot, the installed
patches are set in RUNNING state and remain in this state after a reboot. If not, the installed patches are
set in ACTIVE state and change to the DEACTIVE state at a reboot.
To install and run patches in one step:
Remarks
