Software Upgrade
Software Upgrade Overview
Software upgrade allows you to obtain a target application file from the current host and set the file as
the main boot file or backup boot file to be used at the next reboot.
A boot file, also known as the system software or device software, is an application file used to boot the
device. A main boot file is used to boot a device and a backup boot file is used to boot a device only
when the main boot file is unavailable.
