R211x-HP Flexfabric 11900 Fundamentals Configuration Guide

When you install or upgrade a feature or patch image on the active MPU, the system automatically
installs or upgrades the image on the service cards and switching fabric cards as needed. You do not
need to install or upgrade the image for the cards separately. (In standalone mode–In IRF mode.)
For an incremental upgrade, you must confirm the software changes to keep activated images effective
after a reboot. However, you do not need to confirm software changes for a reboot or ISSU reboot
upgrade, because the install activate command changes the startup software image sets.

Uninstalling feature or patch images
You can uninstall only feature images and patch images from the device. Boot and system images cannot
be uninstalled.
Uninstalled images are still saved on the storage medium. To permanently remove the images from the
device, execute the install remove command.
To uninstall an image, deactivate it and then confirm the software change. If you do not confirm the
deactivation, the deactivated image will become active after a reboot.
