The directory specified by the patch-location argument must exist on both the AMB and SMB. If the 

SMB does not have such directory, the system cannot locate the patch files on the original SMB 

after a switchover.

The  patch install command 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 the right patch files is the basis of other hotfixing operations. The system loads a patch file from 

the flash by default. If the system cannot find the patch file on the flash, it will try to load the patch file 

from the CF card.  

 

Set the file transfer mode to binary mode before using FTP or TFTP to upload/download patch files 

to/from the flash of the device. Otherwise, patch file cannot be parsed properly.
