Patch Status
Each patch has its status, which can be switched only at the command line interface (CLI). The
relationship between patch state changes and command actions is shown in
Figure 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.

NOTE:
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 2
(suppose the memory patch area can load up to eight patches).
The patches that are in the IDLE state will be still in the IDLE state after system reboot.
