The difference between sfr system image and sfr boot image

[itoucruhcm]

Hi all, 

I am using ASA 5525-X with firepower module. I met 2 new concepts when I upgrade software to my sfr module, That are system image and boot image. 

I would appreciate if someone can tell me what the difference between sfr system image and sfr boot image ?. 

Thanks !

The boot image is what you use when you have a blank sfr module with nothing on it.  You then use the boot image to install the system image.

Hi,

You have to run the boot image on ASA , so that the SSD loads with the SFR image . System image is to run the SFR services on it .
