Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When you load a patch to the current system, the system searches the patch package for a matching patch file according to the attributes of the patch file.

If a matching patch file is found in the patch package, the system loads the patch.
If no matching patch file is found in the patch package, the system does not load any patch.

Prerequisites

The patch package has been uploaded to the root directory of the storage device.

Before loading a patch, the system must resolve the patch package, check the validity of the patch files in the patch package, and obtain the attributes such as the patch type and version of the patch file.

Precautions

The patch file cannot be reloaded. When you reload a patch, the system displays an error message.

After this command is run, the system loads all types of patches in the patch package.

If the active parameter is specified, the system activates the loaded patches directly. Then you can use the patch run all command to run the patches.
If the run parameter is specified, the system runs the loaded patches directly.

Example

# Load the patches to the patch area of the device and run the patches directly.

<HUAWEI> patch load patch.pat all run
