A firmware or boot PROM reference is the image you designate as the preferred image
for a specific binary family of devices (devices that share the same firmware
image).
Firmware images that have been set as a reference image display a
firmware
reference icon
in the Firmware Mgmt tab. Boot PROM images that have been set as a reference
image display a
boot PROM
reference icon
in the Firmware Mgmt tab. There can only be one reference image per family.
- Select a firmware or boot PROM image in the left-panel Firmware Mgmt tab or a right-panel Details View.
- Select Tools > Set as Reference Image or right-click on the image and select Set as Reference Image from the menu. If the Set as Reference Image option is not available, make sure that the selected image has been assigned to appropriate device types.
The image will be set as a reference for all device types with which it is compatible.
