NimbostratusWhy Another Boot location for installing images?
why i need to create another boot location and then import image on that one.and then making it active partion. why so many steps...why they can't just let admin to install image on active partition and let the big ip took the boot from that partition,,,,,
i know that it helps in roll back to the older version..but any other reasons to make upgradation process so complex?

We required another boot location because if a new upgraded version is not working properly we can just boot with old volume instead of downgrading the software. It is a very easy method to revert.

We have volumes for both single hard drive and mirrored hard drive.
