Image Statuses
The image status displays the current ADC-VX setup. The following are the image statuses:
Caution:
You should not remove images that are currently being used by vADCs.
Note:
ADC-VX is not compatible with image versions earlier than version 28.1. Therefore, images
that are
inherited from a standalone ADC from an earlier version
are displayed in the image bank as
incompatible.
ADC-VX Image Management
Images used in ADC-VX mode are completely independent of other ADC images, enabling you to easily
upgrade or patch specific vADCs without affecting certified image versions or existing configurations.
Loading Images
Only the Global Administrator can load images. Because the system only holds one image for each
ADC-VX at a time, you do not need to load the same image more than once.
The same image can be
used by multiple vADCs.
You can only replace an active image after the Global Administrator authorizes the switch.
In the ADC-VX mode, you can load the following images:
•
AlteonOS
•
ADC application image
•
ADC-VX infrastructure image
