Finding Missing Attribute Information

When you import an image from another filesystem, the image might not contain all attribute

information that Software Management requires.

You can find the missing attribute information in the following ways:

• Read the Release Notes on Cisco.com or the documentation CD-ROM.

• Review the image attribute information that is available along with the images, when you download

the images from Cisco.com.

You can update the missing attribute information in the Edit/View Image Attributes dialog box.

See Editing and Viewing the Image Attributes for further details.

To edit the software images attributes:

Note View Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check if you have the required

privileges to perform this task.

Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Software Mgmt > Software Repository.

The Software Repository Management dialog box appears.

Step 2 Click the File Name.

The Edit/View Image Attributes dialog box displays attributes for the selected image type.

Step 3 Make your changes in the available editable fields.

For editable image attributes, you will get either a drop-down list or text fields that you can edit.

Step 4 Either,

• Click Update. This is if you have updated the image attributes.

The Software Repository Management dialog box appears after updating the attributes.

• Click OK. This is if you have not updated the image attributes.

The Software Repository Management dialog box appears without updating the attributes.

Attribute Description

RAM If you select Unknown, Software Management computes the RAM

value.

Flash size If Min.Flash is unknown, it is ignored.

If the image size is unknown, the required Flash size to copy the image

cannot be determined and the image cannot be used for upgrade.

Boot ROM Version If you select Unknown, no value is stored in this field and the image can

run with any boot ROM image version.
