Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Before loading a patch, the system resolves the patch package to check the validity of patch files and obtain the attributes of patch files.

When loading 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 the patch.

Prerequisites

The desired patch file has been uploaded to the main control board of the device.

Configuration Impact

If you continue to install the patch when the CPU or memory usage is too high, risks exist.

After loading a cold patch, restart the device to make the patch take effect.

After the patch load command is run, the system loads all types of patches in the patch package. If the run parameter is specified, the system runs the loaded patches directly.

Precautions

This command applies only to the admin VS but takes effect on all VSs.

Example

# Load and run the cold patch package on the current system.
