Configuring the patch file location
If you save the patch files to another storage media except the CF card on the device, you need to specify
the directory where the patch files locate with the patch-location argument. Then the system loads the
appropriate patch files from the specified directory. If the device has only one storage media, you do not
need to execute this command.
Follow these steps to configure the patch file location:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Configure the patch file location patch location patch-location
Optional
cfa0:/ by default
NOTE:
If you install a patch file by specifying the directory where the patch file locates, after the patch install
command is executed, the system automatically changes patch file location specified with the patch
location command to the directory specified by the patch-location argument of the patch install
command. For example, if you execute the patch location xxx command and then the patch install yyy
command, the patch file location automatically changes from xxx to yyy.
Loading a patch file
Loading the correct patch files is the basis of other hotfixing operations. The system loads a patch file
from cfa0: by default.
CAUTION:
Set the file transfer mode to binary mode before using FTP or TFTP to upload/download patch files
to/from cfa0: of the device. Otherwise, patch file cannot be parsed properly.
Follow these steps to load a patch file:

Activating patches
After you activate a patch, the patch takes effect and is in the test-run stage. After the device is reset or
rebooted, the patch becomes invalid.
