List,

I want to do hot-standby redundancy with my two serverirons.

The problem is that it seems that Boot Image Version 06.00.00 is
incompatible with Code Version 07.4.00T12.  I get an error message when
booting:
BOOT ERR: decompression failed with error code 45

I cannot find how to upgrade my boot image (I want to use 07.4.00 on both,
and not 07.0.01).  Everything I have read says to use a command similar to:
copy tftp flash <tftp server> <image file> boot
However, boot is not a valid argument at the end (only primary or secondary
are).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Matthew
