Unified image management

Unified images contain all images required to manage the product. Instead of upgrading each type of image separately, you can use a unified image to upgrade all image types. For example, a unified image for the BigIron RX Series contains boot, monitor, management, and interface images. When deployed, a unified image can update all image types on a product simultaneously.

Unified images are not available for all IronWare and Network OS products, but if your product has a unified image, you can manage that image from the Unified Firmware Images tab of the Firmware Management dialog box. Management of images can be done using the following Management application modules:

Firmware Management — Manually imports unified images into the Management application. This module also allows you to delete unified images from the Management application. Alternatively, you can click the Update button to download unified firmware images to the device.

Configuration Wizard — Deploys unified images that are available in the Management application to IronWare and Network OS products.

NOTE

Refer to the release notes for your IronWare and Network OS product to determine if unified images are available for the product.

Viewing the list of unified images

You can view a list of unified images that are known to the Management application from the Unified Firmware Images tab of the Firmware Management dialog box if you have the Firmware Management privilege in your Management application user account or role.

To view the list of unified images, select the Unified Firmware Images tab from the Firmware Management dialog box, as shown in Figure 314.

NOTE

For Network OS VDX switches, you can select either the logical chassis cluster or the fabric cluster nodes.
