Software Images
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module maintains two software images:
■ primary
■ secondary
Typically, the primary image loads when the Wireless Edge Services xl Module
is rebooted. However, you can configure the module to reboot with either the
primary or the secondary image.
The two images provide failover capabilities in the event that one software
image becomes corrupted. If a software image fails to initialize completely
during two consecutive reboots, the Wireless Edge Services xl Module auto-
matically boots with the other image.
Having two images also simplifies the update process. For example, you can
boot the Wireless Edge Services xl Module with the secondary image and then
update the primary image. Likewise, you can boot the module with the primary
image and update the secondary image. After you upgrade the software and
reboot the module, the module, by default, loads the upgraded image.
ProCurve Networking uses the following naming convention for software
image files:
WS.xx.yy
The xx is replaced with numbers that indicate a major release of the software
image. The yy is replaced with numbers that indicate a minor release of the
software.
