Installing Patches

BEWARE: Patches are platform and release specific.

Later systems (after Rel. 25) use the following LD 143 commands:

Command	Description
mdp issp	Prints all inservice patches and patch handle numbers (includes all DepList patches)
mdp install <path/file>	Install and activate the contents of a (zipped) MDP patch file on a target system
mdp refresh <path/file>	Refreshes the MDP patches (previously) installed on a target system
mdp uninstall	First deactivates, then removes, all MDP patches from the system

Where:

<path> - a: = SSC slot 'A', f0 = Floppy Drive, cf2 = Compact Flash
<file> - name of (zipped) DepList patch file in 8.3 format

For example: mdp install cf2/deplist.zip

Note:

If some patches are already in service, use mdp refresh to update the PATCH deltas only.
Print the system type, software version, and in-service patches in LD 22: ISSP.

Patch procedure for a 5.5 system can be found here...

Installing Patches

After a Software Upgrade or Install, don't forget to apply any Patches!

Locate the Asia Pacific CP 3/CP 4 MDCS Update disk and put it in the drive (label to the right).
Access LD 143 and enter: mdcs install f0 ap (F0=floppy drive zero) - follow the prompts.
In-Service Patch's may be printed in LD 22: at the REQ prompt enter ISSP

The printouts below show the patch installation process.
