Unless the image is downloaded as the first file in the first partition,
this download must be performed by an image that recognizes relocat-
able images.
In contrast, a nonrelocatable image is an image that does not recognize
relocatable images.
You can identify a relocatable image by its name. The naming conven-
tion for images that are stored on a UNIX system is:
platform-capabilities-type
The letter l in the type field indicates a relocatable image. Examples of
some relocatable image names include
z
igs-i-l—IP-only imag
z
igs-d-l—Desktop feature image
z
igs-bpx-l—Enterprise image
Only images with the igs prefix used by the AI2524 are available as
relocatable images. Images distributed on floppy diskettes might have
different naming conventions.
For backward compatibility, the relocatable images are linked to exe-
cute as the first file in the first Flash memory bank. This makes the im-
ages similar to previous Flash memory images. Thus, if you download
a relocatable image into a nonrelocatable image system, the image
runs correctly from Flash memory.

Refer to Display System Image and Configuration Information , for in-
formation about monitoring dual Flash bank.
To upgrade your software, you must erase Flash memory when
prompted during the download. This ensures that the image is down-
loaded as the first file in Flash memory.
