Using CLCP to Install, Delete, and List Software Patches

Use CLCP to manage software patches. These small programming
changes are placed into the controller’s non-volatile memory and
become active as soon you restart the controller. There is space for
about ten patches, depending upon the size of the patches you’re
installing.

Keep the following points in mind while installing or deleting patches:

n

Patches are associated with specific software versions. CLCP
verifies the patch against the currently installed version.

n

Patches are sequential: patch one must be entered before patch two,
and so on.

n

Deleting one patch also deletes all higher-numbered patches. For
example, if you delete patch two, you’ll automatically delete
patches three, four, and so on.

n

Controllers in a dual-redundant configuration must have the same
patches. You must install patches into each controller separately.
