2. The cache boot feature requires at least the boot code versions in Table 20-5, "Boot Code
Requirements for Cache Boot," in High Availability. Use
show rpm and show linecard commands to
verify that you have the proper version.
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 (see Select the Cache Boot Image). See 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
example below. Dell Force10 recommends using the keyword
all with this command to avoid any
mis-matched configurations.
