This feature allows a patch to be added to a running FTOS process to obtain debugginginformation or to resolve a software issue in a deployed system.There is no need to reload or reboot the system when the patch is inserted. The In-Service Modular patchreplaces the existing process code. Once installation is complete, the system executes the patch code asthough it was always there.Add the patch with the patch flash://RUNTIME_PATCH_DIR/<patchname> command. Remove a patch andrevert to the original code with the no patch flash://RUNTIME_PATCH_DIR/<patchname> command.The patch name includes the FTOS version, the platform, the CPU, and the process it affects(FTOS-platform-cpu-process-patchversion.rtp). For example, a patch labeled 7.8.1.0-EH-rp2-l2mgr-1.rtpidentifies that this patch applies to FTOS version 7.8.1.0, on the E-Series platform, for RP2, addressing thelayer 2 management process, and this is the first version of this patch.Use the following to add a patch to the system.Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode1 If not already done, copy the patch to theRuntime Patch directorycopy file-origin rpm {0|1} flash://RUNTIME_PATCH_DIREXEC Privilege2 Verify that the patch resides in thesystem’s internal flash.In-Service Modular patches areidentified as .rtp filespwdflash:/RUNTIME_PATCH_DIRFTOS#dirEXECDirectory of flash:/RUNTIME_PATCH_DIR1 drwx 8192 Dec 06 2008 22:25:54 +00:00 .2 drwx 32768 Jan 01 1980 00:00:00 +00:00 ..3 -rwx 1835 Mar 03 2009 16:31:48 +00:00 7.8.0.1-EH-rp1-bgp-1.rtpflash: 520962048 bytes total (242778112 bytes free)3 Insert the patch. patch flash://RUNTIME_PATCH_DIR/<patchname>CONFIGURATIONFor example: patch flash://RUNTIME_PATCH_DIR/7.8.0.1-EH-rp1-bgp-1.rtp4 View all In-Service patches on thesystem.show patch EXECPatch version Module Cpu Timestamp7.8.0.1-EH-rp1-bgp-1.rtp bgp RP1 Tue Mar 3 16:10:08 PST 2009
