If you do not have the proper boot code version, the system displays a message similar to Message 7 when
you attempt to select a cache boot image (refer to Select the Cache Boot Image). Refer to Upgrading the
Boot Code in the Release Notes for instructions on upgrading boot code.
Select the Cache Boot Image
Select the FTOS image that you want to cache using the command upgrade system-image, as shown in the
