Installation prerequisites
To ensure a successful hotfix operation and normal switch operation after the hotfix operation:
•
Make sure each patch file you are installing matches the switch model and software version.
•
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 of the value 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_xxx.bin.
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.
