Swap to the other partition to boot up the system on the next power up.

CLI: firmware > swap_active

cc1:firmware> swap_active 
Warning: This operation will require the appliance to reboot.
Are you sure you want to swap the active firmware image?
Enter 'YES' to confirm: YES

info

If the partition is never used to boot up the system, we would need to configure it.

To configure the system, we would need to login as admin and go through the set up wizard.

Firmware Backup

To back up the firmware in use, which is on the active partition, to the inactive partition.

CLI: firmware > backup

Warning: This operation will require the appliance to reboot.
Are you sure you want to back up the current partition to the other?
Enter 'YES' to confirm: YES
