RUNNING state
After you confirm the ACTIVE patches are running, the patch state becomes RUNNING and they are
placed in the RUNNING state after system reboot. For the five patches in Figure 45, if you confirm the
first three patches are running, their states change from ACTIVE to RUNNING. At this time, the patch
states of the system are as shown in Figure 46.
The patches that are in the RUNNING state are still in the RUNNING state after system reboot.

Configuration prerequisites
Patches are released per switch model. Before patching the system, you need to save the appropriate
patch files to the switch’s storage media using FTP or TFTP. When saving the patch files, note that the
following rules apply:
• The patch files match the switch model and software version. If they are not matched, the hotfix
operation fails.
• Name a patch file properly. Otherwise, the system cannot locate the patch file and the hotfixing
operation fails. The name is in the format of "patch_PATCH-FLAG suffix.bin". The PATCH-FLAG is
pre-defined and support for the PATCH-FLAG depends on switch model. The first three characters of
the version item (using the display patch information command) represent the PATCH-FLAG suffix.
The system searches the root directory of the storage medium (Flash by default) for patch files based
