[cisco-voip] Device Pack installation question

[Wellnitz, Erick A.]

I just did a single device firmware load via the CLI.  It gave me that message but did not require a reboot on 8.0(3).

Subject: [cisco-voip] Device Pack installation question

Hello, hope everyone's Friday is going well.

I am looking at installing device pack 7.1.5.34066-3 on our cluster.

When I go through the CLI using the "Utils system upgrade initiate" command, it finds the file as a valid upgrade, and after it downloads and validates  the file it displays this message:

A system reboot is required when the upgrade process completes or is canceled.  This will ensure services affected by the upgrade process are functioning properly.

This is the first time i've tried doing a CLI upgrade/install of anything - I just discovered the option. Since I don't want to reboot at this point, I do not start the installation. Now, if I do this operation via the Software Upgrade on the OS Admin web page, it does not give me a message about rebooting. So.. would I need to reboot if I add the device pack or not? I thought it was more along the lines of a firmware package, but I don't find any documentation about device packs when I look in the doc roadmap - I freely admit I could be looking in the wrong places for it though.

Thanks!
