Loading a patch file
Loading the correct patch files is the basis of other hotfix operations.
If you install a patch from a patch file, the system by default loads the patch file from Flash memory.
If you install a patch from a patch package, the system finds the correct patch file in the patch
package file and loads the patch file.
IMPORTANT:
Set the file transfer mode to binary mode before using FTP or TFTP to upload or download patch
files to or from the Flash of the switch. Otherwise, patch files cannot be parsed properly.
To load a patch file:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Load the patch file from the storage medium to
the patch memory area.
Activating patches
Activating a patch changes its state to ACTIVE. An ACTIVE patch runs in memory until a reboot
occurs. To have a patch continue to run after a reboot, you must change its state to RUNNING.
To activate patches:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Activate patches.
Confirming ACTIVE patches
To have an ACTIVE patch continue to run after a reboot, perform the task in this section.
After you confirm an ACTIVE patch, its state changes to RUNNING and persists after a reboot.
To confirm ACTIVE patches:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Confirm ACTIVE patches.
Uninstalling a patch step-by-step
To uninstall a patch in the step-by-step approach, first stop running the patch and then remove it from
the patch memory area.
Stopping running patches
When you stop running a patch, the patch state becomes DEACTIVE, and the system runs the way
it did before it was installed with the patch.
To stop running patches:
Command
system-view
patch load slot slot-number [ file patch-package ]
Command
system-view
patch active [ patch-number ] slot slot-number
Command
system-view
patch run [ patch-number ] [ slot slot-number ]
