Avaya periodically provides updates and patches for the AE Services software.
An update provides new features or enhancements to the AE Services system. An update might also include bug fixes. Avaya releases updates only on an as-needed basis for critical fixes. Updates are effected by the update command.
A patch addresses a specific issue related to a specific component or a set of components in the AE Services system.
When you install an update or patch:
The install script installs the new version of the RPMs in /var/disk/software.
The update script backs up the current RPM before installing the new version of the RPM.
The /var/disk/software directory also contains all of the previous versions of the RPMs. To see all updates or patches installed on a server, use the swversion -a command.
