Use the Next Boot Image if it can be loaded, and it is newer than the local
image. Otherwise, use local image.
If the local image is not valid, the setting will be “net only” and cannot be
changed to “local only” or “net with local backup” until a valid image file is
loaded. When the local image is not valid and the network download of the
image fails, the entire boot process will be repeated.
When “local only” is specified, the image will be loaded from local storage.
When “net only” is specified, the image will be downloaded from the network
only. The image file will never be loaded from local storage, even if
downloading fails and the local image exists.
When “net with local backup” is specified, a download of the image is tried
over the network. If the network download fails, then the image is loaded from
local storage.
When “net if newer” is specified, a download of the image will be tried over the
network. If successful, it will then be compared to the image stored in local
storage. The most recent version of the two will be used. If the local image is
not valid, the network will always be used. If the network download fails then
the image is loaded from the local storage.
Next Boot Image Save Mode
Indicates what will be done with the image (when loaded from the network) on
the next boot. Table 4-7 lists values which are valid entries, and descriptions
