Understanding Invalid Combinations of Source and Destination
Some invalid combinations of source and destination exist. Specifically, the following cannot
be copied:
•
If the source file and destination file are the same file.
•
xmodem cannot be a destination. Can only be copied to image, boot and null.
•
tftp cannot be the source and destination on the same copy.
•
Active Image is the image the system currently boots from (see "show bootvar"
command) or set to boot next from. Non active image is the spare image location.
