Usage
Thesystemmustberesetbysoftwareforthenewbootimagetotakeeffectatstartup.Ifthechassis
ispoweredOFFandthenbackON,thecurrentactiveimagewilljustreloadatstartup.
Thedircommand,asdescribedin“dir”onpage 2‐81,displaysadditionalinformationabout

onpage 2‐75)willmovethebootdesignationfromthecurrentrunningimage,butwillallowthe

imagetostaywhereitisuntilafterthereset,whenthatimagehasactually beenbooted.
Example

Matrix(rw)->show boot system
Current system image to boot: bootfile

Usage
Thisistheimagethatwillbeloadedautomaticallyafterthesystemhasbeenreset.Althoughitis
notnecessarytochoosetoresetthesystemandactivatethenewbootimageimmediately,theCLI
willpromptyouwhetherornotyouwanttodoso.Youcanchoose“Yes”at
thequestionprompt
