This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

Populate the Storage Area
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Software updates (patches) have to be uploaded to the |prod| storage area
|
|
before they can be applied.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |proc|
|
|
|
|
#. Log in as **sysadmin** to the active controller.
|
|
|
|
#. Upload the update file to the storage area.
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo sw-patch upload /home/sysadmin/patches/|pn|-CONTROLLER_<nn.nn>_PATCH_0001.patch
|
|
Cloud_Platform__CONTROLLER_<nn.nn>_PATCH_0001 is now available
|
|
|
|
where <nn.nn> in the update file name is the |prod| release number.
|
|
|
|
This example uploads a single update to the storage area. You can specify
|
|
multiple update files on the same command separating their names with
|
|
spaces.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can upload all update files stored in a directory using
|
|
a single command, as illustrated in the following example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
$ sudo sw-patch upload-dir /home/sysadmin/patches
|
|
|
|
The update is now available in the storage area, but has not been applied
|
|
to the update repository or installed to the nodes in the cluster.
|
|
|
|
#. Verify the status of the update.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
$ sudo sw-patch query
|
|
|
|
The update state displays *Available*, indicating that it is included in the
|
|
storage area. Further details about the updates can be retrieved as
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
$ sudo sw-patch show <patch_id>
|
|
|
|
The :command:`sudo sw-patch query` command returns a list of patch IDs.
|
|
The :command:`sudo sw-patch show` command provides further detail about
|
|
the specified <patch_id>.
|
|
|
|
#. Delete the update files from the root drive.
|
|
|
|
After the updates are uploaded to the storage area, the original files are
|
|
no longer required. You must delete them to ensure there is enough disk
|
|
space to complete the installation.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
$ rm /home/sysadmin/patches/*
|
|
|
|
.. caution::
|
|
If the original files are not deleted before the updates are applied,
|
|
the installation may fail due to a full disk.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |postreq|
|
|
|
|
When an update in the *Available* state is no longer required, you can delete
|
|
it using the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
$ sudo sw-patch delete |pn|-|pvr|-PATCH_0001
|
|
|
|
The update to delete from the storage area is identified by the update
|
|
\(patch) ID reported by the :command:`sw-patch query` command. You can provide
|
|
multiple patch IDs to the delete command, separating their names by spaces.
