fails to start, BMC will try to boot with another image.

modify the dual-image configuration.

BMC supports dual BMC firmware update. The BMC flash contains two images: BMC flash
image (size: 64M) and BMC firmware image (size: 32M).
On the WEB GUI, go to the Administration →BMC Firmware Update to update the
firmware. This is a sideband mode, supporting firmware integrity checks and preserving
configuration.
Firmware Integrity Checks
Before updating the firmware, MD5 tool must be used to check the image integrity to
ensure that the firmware image file is correct.
WEB Update
User can update the BMC firmware via WEB GUI. It supports the hardware watchdog. For
more information on watchdog, refer to
When updating the BMC firmware, user can specify which image to update: Image-1,
Image-2 or Both images (Default). Configuration can be preserved separately. Please refer
to the 7.10.6 Restore Factory
NOTE: The firmware upgrade process is a crucial operation. Make sure that the
power or connectivity loss are minimal when performing this operation.
Once you enter into the update mode and choose to cancel the firmware flash operation,
BMC must be reset. This means that you must close the Internet browser and log back
onto the BMC before performing any operations.
After rebooting, BMC will boot to the higher version of the two images. You can change
the value from WEB GUI.
