Boot media
Overview of boot media replacement - ASA C400
The boot media stores a primary and secondary set of system (boot image) files that the
system uses when it boots. Depending on your network configuration, you can perform
either a nondisruptive or disruptive replacement.
You must have a USB flash drive, formatted to FAT32, with the appropriate amount of storage to hold the
image_xxx.tgz file.
You also must copy the
image_xxx.tgz file to the USB flash drive for later use in this procedure.
•
The nondisruptive and disruptive methods for replacing a boot media both require you to restore the
var
file system:
◦
For nondisruptive replacement, the HA pair must be connected to a network to restore the
var file
system.
◦
For disruptive replacement, you do not need a network connection to restore the
var file system, but
the process requires two reboots.
