Configuring the Patch File Location
If you save the patch files to other storage media except the flash on the device, you need to specify
the directory where the patch files locate with the patch-location argument. Then the system loads the
appropriate patch files from the specified directory. If the device has only one storage medium, you do
not need to execute this command.
Follow these steps to configure the patch file location:

flash: by default
z 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 SMB.
(distributed device)
z 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 a Patch File
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 tries to load the patch
file from the CF card.
