What Is Multi-Image Management?
Multi-image management is the part of ADC-VX that enables the Global Administrator to
• Separately control vADC and ADC-VX infrastructure images.
• Maintain backward compatibility between the ADC-VX infrastructure and ADC software.
• Upgrade or patch one or more vADCs with a single action.
• Avoid multiple reloads of the same software image.
Image Management in a Standalone ADC
With image management, the Global Administrator role includes managing enhanced image banks.
You can load up to 10 ADC images, which are also used for vADC assignments, and up to four ADC-
VX infrastructure images. Global administrators can view and manage ADC-VX and standalone
deployment images.
Image Bank
The image bank can store up to 10 ADC application images and ADC-VX infrastructure images.
When booting the system or loading an image, the image bank displays all available images and
their statuses. You can only load one image of each AlteonOS version.
Loading Images
In standalone mode, you can
• Upgrade the entire system with an AlteonOS image
• Upgrade an ADC application image
