Guidelines
A firmware upgrade performed with the boot image command retains current
configuration data, allowing the appliance to be restored to a known, stable state if
necessary. The previous firmware image and associated configuration data is
referred to as the secondary install.
While, you can use the boot delete command to delete the secondary install, keep
in mind that its deletion will prevent firmware rollback as provided by the boot
switch command. Consequently, deletion of the secondary install is not
recommended.
