    Hi Ciscoape,

    /var/import/staging/
/var/export/chassis/import/iso/

    Can you try with these pathnames?

I wonder what is the difference between the two directories? Where should I upload an .iso image for a system upgrade of r5900 appliance?

    Hi michal-k,

    One is a symbolic link to the other. When you upload an .iso file to one of these directories, it will also appear in the other.

    /var/import/staging/
/var/export/chassis/import/iso/
