To install a patch package, skip this step.
Loading a patch file Required.

Specifying the patch file location
For reliable patch loading, H3C recommends saving patch files to the root directory of Flash memory. To
use a storage medium other than Flash memory, you must specify the patch file location.
If the device has only one storage medium, this task is not required.
To configure the patch file location:

system-view N/A
2. Specify the patch file location.
patch location
patch-location
By default, the patch file location is
flash: .
NOTE:
If you execute the patch install
patch-location command, the directory specified for the patch-location
argument replaces the directory specified with the patch location command after the upgrade is
complete.
Loading a patch file
Loading the correct patch files is the basis of other hotfix operations.
If you install a patch from a patch file, the system loads the patch file from Flash memory by default.
