Patch Status - H3C SR6600 Fundamentals Configuration Manual

Patch Status

Each patch has its status, which can be switched only by commands. The relationship between patch
state changes and command actions is shown in Figure 12-1. The patch can be in the state of IDLE,
DEACTIVE, ACTIVE, and RUNNING. Load, run temporarily, confirm running, stop running, delete,
install, and uninstall represent operations, corresponding to commands of patch load, patch active,
patch run, patch deactive, patch delete, patch install, and undo patch install. For example, if you
execute the patch active command for the patches in the DEACTIVE state, the patches turn to the
ACTIVE state.

Information about patch states is saved in file patchstate on the CF card. It is recommended not to
operate this file.
IDLE state
Patches in the IDLE state are not loaded. You cannot install or run the patches, as shown in Figure 12-2
(suppose the memory patch area can load up to eight patches).
