Common patches always include the functions of the previous temporary patches. The patch type affects
only the patch loading process; the system deletes all the temporary patches before it loads the common
patch.
Patch status
Each patch has a status, which can be switched only by commands. The relationship between patch state
changes and command actions is shown in Figure 72. Th
e patch can be in the state of IDLE, DEACTIVE,
ACTIVE, and RUNNING. Load, run temporarily, confirm running, stop running, delete, install, and
uninstall are operations and they correspond to the following commands: 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 cfa0. H3C recommends that you do not
operate this file.
IDLE state
Patches in the IDLE state are not loaded. You cannot install or run the patches, as shown in Figure 73 (In
this example, the memory patch area can load up to eight patches).
