maximum of 63 characters. If the file is saved on the active MPU or global active MPU, the slotn# or
chassismslotn# section is optional.
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
An image runs in memory immediately after it is activated. For an activated image to run after a
reboot, you must commit the software change by using the install commit command.
After activating patch images, you must terminate your connection to the device and log in again.
If you specify the active MPU (in standalone mode) or the global active MPU (in IRF mode), this
command activate patch images both on the MPU and all LPUs.
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 activate
command on the subordinate device.
To examine the synchronization progress, use the display device and display system internal ha
service-group commands. The synchronization is completed if the following conditions are met:
•
All cards of the subordinate device are in normal state.
The Action field of the display system internal ha service-group command is 0 for each service.
•
