Installing A Patch In One Step - HP A7500 Series Configuration Manual

NOTE:
In standalone mode, the loading and installation are performed on all cards that are in position and
OAM CPU, so before these operations, save the patch files for the active MPU or LPU to the root directory
of the active MPU's storage media, and save the patch files for the standby MPU to the root directory of
the standby MPU's storage media. Make sure the patch files saved on the active MPU and standby MPU
are the same.
If you install patches, upgrade the software version, and then roll back to the previous version, the
installed patches become invalid. You need to install the patches again.
If you install patches and plug in a standby MPU or replace the standby MPU with a new one, you need
to install patches for the standby MPU to make sure that patches can operate properly on the standby
MPU.

Installing a patch in one step

To install patches in one step, execute the patch install command with specifying either the directory
where the patch file locates or the filename of the patch package.
After you execute the command, the system displays the "Do you want to continue running patches after
reboot? [Y/N]:" message. If you enter:
y or Y: All of the specified patches are installed, and turn to the RUNNING state from IDLE. This
•
equals execution of the commands patch location, patch load, patch active, and patch run. The
patches remain RUNNING after system reboot.
• n or N: All of the specified patches are installed and turn to the ACTIVE state from IDLE. This equals
execution of the commands patch location, patch load and patch active. The patches turn to the
DEACTIVE state after system reboot.
To install a patch package, save the patch package file to the storage media of the active MPU. The
standby MPU and all LPUs will load the patch file from the active MPU.
