Configuring the patch file location
HP recommends saving the patch file to the root directory of the Flash.
The directory specified by the patch-location argument must exist on each member switch of an IRF fabric.
If a member switch does not have such a directory, the system cannot locate the patch file on the member
switch.
If installing a patch file by specifying the directory where the patch file locates, after the patch install
command is executed, the system automatically changes patch file location specified with the patch
location command to the directory specified by the patch-location argument of the patch install command.
For example, if you execute the patch location xxx command and then the patch install yyy command,
the patch file location automatically changes from xxx to yyy.
