Description: The source from which to load the agent image at next boot. The following value is read-only: other(1)...not applicable or some other case

The following values are read-write: local(2)........get from local storage net(3)..........load from the network locAsBk(4)......try using network and if it fails then use local information. netIfNewer(5)...try loading image over the net. If can load image, and it is newer than the local image, then use it. Otherwise, use local image.

If the local image is not valid, the setting will be net(3) and cannot be changed to local(2), or locAsBk(4) until a valid image file is loaded (i.e., error 'badValue' will be returned on SETS with value other than net(3)). When the local image is not valid and the network download of the image fails, the entire boot process will be repeated.

When local(2) is specified, the image will be loaded from local storage.

When net(3) is specified, the image will be downloaded from the network only. The image file will never be loaded from local storage, even if downloading fails and the local image exists.

When locAsBk(4) is specified, a download of the image will be tried over the network. If the network download fails then the image is loaded from local storage.

When netIfNewer(5) is specified, a download of the image will be tried over the network. If successful, it will then be compared to the image stored in local storage. The most recent version of the two will be used. If the local image is not valid, the network will always be used. If the network download fails then the image is loaded from the local storage.
