Chapter 12 Managing Software Images Using Software Management
Software Repository
When you distribute an image from the Software Repository to a device, Software Management
compares the current Flash memory and DRAM attributes with the Flash memory and DRAM
requirements for the new image.
The following sections contain:
Understanding Software Image Attributes
To ensure that Software Management is using the most current information about an image, keep the
image attributes updated.
If you do not have all the image attribute information when you add the image to the Software
Repository, you must edit the attributes when the information becomes available.
Note The auto fill of the Minimum NVRAM, Minimum RAM and Minimum Bootflash image attributes is
applicable for IOS only.
See Table 12-5 for the attributes for software images.
Understanding Default Attribute Values
The Unknown attribute option has different meanings for different image attributes.
