Patching the Network Elements
Use this procedure to patch the Network Elements. If a Network Element
is supported in a fault tolerant mode such as a Session Manager, one
instance will be in active state and the other one will be in hot standby
state. When the active instance is shut down to be patched, the standby
instance becomes active to prevent loss of service.
For non-fault tolerant Network Elements, such as Provisioning Manager,
the service provided by the Network Element is impacted during the patch.
For more information about Network Elements and their associated service
impacts during patch upgrades, see
Table 11 "Service impacts to Network
Elements during patching" (page 79) .
