Field Name
Filename: This table displays either one or two filenames. If the value
displayed in the Software Upgrade process state table is
"INITIAL" then this is the initial software installation and only one
filename is displayed. In all other cases two filenames are
displayed.
Use: The values displayed in the Use column depend on the state of
the system. (See Table 4–21:: Software Upgrade States.)
State: This field reports the state of the upgrade process.
Button: The buttons displayed below the State field enable you to
initiate a change in the state of the software upgrade. The
number and purpose of the buttons displayed depends on the
state of the software.
The table below describes the options available to you depending on the State and Use of
the software images.

READY TO Upgrade: Click this button to reboot the system and load the new
UPGRADE image. (Note that an upgrade by any means other than clicking the
Upgrade button in this screen will also result in the loading of the new
image.)
UPGRADING Finalize: Click this button to approve the upgrade. (Note that if the
system reboots for any reason while in the UPGRADING state it will fall
back to the previous image.)
UPGRADED Fallback: Click this button to reboot with the previous image.
FALLBACK Retry: Click this button to attempt the upgrade process again (move to
the READY TO UPGRADE state).
The system will automatically reboot during the transition from UPGRADING to FALLBACK
and the transition from READY TO UPGRADE to UPGRADING because a new software
image needs to be loaded in order to complete these transitions.
