Understanding changes to '/boot' partition on IBM Security Verify Access appliances

Troubleshooting


Problem

The IBM Security Verify Access (ISVA) appliance can hold two partitions on the hard disk. This allows administrators to roll back to a known good partition during a firmware upgrade. It also allows administrators to backup the firmware partition before applying diagnostic or defect fixes from IBM Support.
When upgrading from one firmware version to another or performing a firmware backup it is possible for the usage of the '/boot' partition to change.
This technical document will explain what is stored on the '/boot' partition and when the usage of the partition may be an issue.
