NOTE:
Starting from Release 10.5.1.0, SmartFabric OS10 comes with a unified partition. If you have upgraded from an
earlier release to 10.5.1.9 or later, the show boot detail command output appears as follows:
OS10# show boot detail
Image A: 10.5.2.6
Image B: N/A
Image B is listed as N/A. However, Image B (older version) resides in the system and is used when you roll back to the
previous release.
If you want to update the standby partition with the current OS10 image, use the copy active-to-standby command:
OS10# image copy active-to-standby
This action removes the older version from the standby partition of the system. You can no longer roll back to the previous
release. If you want to downgrade, you must follow the instructions provided in the Downgrade to OS10 release 10.5.0.9 or
earlier section.
