PurposeCommand or Action
node unless some version of the package being activated
is already active on all nodes.
By default, packages are activated for all cards
supported by that package.
Note
• pause sw-change—Pauses the operation after preparatory
checks and before the configuration is locked for the
actual activation. This action enables you to hold the
operation while you perform configuration changes, and
proceed with the activation whenever you choose. This
operation is useful, for example, if your workflow
involves configuring a router out of the network during
software installation and you want to minimize the time
that the router is out of the network. Follow onscreen
instructions to control the pausing and completion of the
operation.
• prompt-level—Use a prompt-level of all to view all
stages of the installation process and to specify whether
to continue, or not.
• auto-abort-timer—Specifies an abort timer value, in
minutes, which when expired loads the last committed
loadpath. The default is 60. The timer is enabled by
default. After the installation, if the activated software is
working correctly, use the install commit command to
cancel the timer and commit the new loadpath.
The package being activated must be compatible with
the currently active software to operate. When an
activation is attempted, the system runs an automatic
compatibility check to ensure that the package is
compatible with the other active software on the
router. The activation is permitted only after all
compatibility checks have been passed.
Note
When activating packages, use the test option to test
the effects of a command without impacting the running
system. After the activation process finishes, enter the
show install log command to display the process
results.
Tip
The automatic FPD upgrade occurs only when the FPD
pie is added and activated together with the install PIE.
