Add Image background task

The Add Image command allows PMAC to move a software image from any of these locations to the PMAC image repository:

• /var/TKLC/upgrade/
• /var/TKLC/smac/image/isoimages/home/smacftpusr/
• From Oracle-provided media in the PMAC host's CD/DVD drive.

The time it takes to move an image depends on the size of the image.

When the Add Image command is executed, the Add Image background task is launched.

On the Background Task Monitoring page of the PMAC GUI, you can monitor progress as the Add Image background task executes. The Status field shows the current step being executed.

Once issued, the Add Image command cannot be stopped. An authorized user can delete the background task from the GUI. The deletion stops the tracking of its status but not its execution.
