Hello,
we received some Nexus 9k and I just want to know if the provider "installed" the NXOS to make sure it's not unpacking the bin file each time it boot. I'm pretty new to those Switches and the documentation did not clearly pointed me to the answer. When I do a "show version" I see that the boot mode is LXC and when I look at the "show boot" it's only pointing to the bin file without the "unpacked" afterward. Here are the outputs of the show version, show boot and show install all status. Can somebody tell me if it's been properly installed? Here is the "show version"
