Deleting a patch Patch Status File
The current patch status and the patch status after the next startup are saved in the patch status
files respectively.
z
If the current patch status changes, the system saves the changed patch status in the
current patch status file and. next startup patch status file. If the patch status after the
next startup is not set, the patch status is the same with current patch status.
z
If the patch status after the next startup is set, the system saves the patch status after the
next startup in the patch status file.
You can run the display patch-information configure-file command to view information
about the patch in the patch status file.
The patch status file is used only to restore the patch status on the board after the next startup. Viewing
the current patch status file does not mean viewing the current patch status. For example, in the patch
status file, the patch status of a board is Active. After the next startup, the patch status of the board turns
to Deactive; however, the patch status on this board in the patch status file is still Active.
12.2 Checking the Running of Patch in the System
12.2.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Applicable Environment
Based on the type of boards, a patch is classified as the MPU patch and the LPU patch. At the
same time, the system allows the running of only one MPU patch and one LPU patch. As a
result, you need to confirm no patch is running in the current system before installing a patch.
If a patch runs in the system, delete the patch before installing the new patch.
If you need to install an MPU patch, check whether a patch runs on the master and slave
MPUs first. If you need to install an LPU patch, check whether a patch runs on all the LPUs.
Pre-configuration Tasks

z

z
