Redundant Images In Firmware - HP 438031-B21 - 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch User Manual

Redundant images in firmware

The switch stores up to two different software images, called image1 and image2, as well as boot
software, called boot. When downloading new software, the ability to specify where it is to be placed
(into image1, image2, or boot) is activated.
For example, if the active image is currently loaded into image1, load the new image software into
image2. This allows a test of the new software and the option to revert back to the original image stored
in image1, if needed.
CAUTION:
supported. Upgrading the boot image replaces the original boot image.
Unlike the firmware that has two images, there is only one image of boot
