Recently we upgraded AHF to latest version and I found the new ahfctl command line is very helpful and easy to upgrade AHF.
AHFCTL command line utility starts from version 21.1 version.
Here are the steps:
1. Download latest patch to patch location.
[root@oda-base0 stage]# pwd
/u01/stage
[root@oda-base0 stage]# ls -lrt
total 402584
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 411834022 Dec 15 19:44 AHF-LINUX_v21.3.4.zip
[root@oda-base0 stage]#
2. Check the current version of AHF using below command: ahfctl statusahf
[root@oda-base0 stage]# ahfctl statusahf
