Uploading a New Image in SafeMode
Image files are used to upgrade SonicOS. You can download the latest image file from MySonicWall.
In SafeMode, you can upload a new SonicOS image and apply it to the NSv virtual machine. The SafeMode web management interface is used to perform an upgrade, rather than SafeMode in the NSv CLI console.
In SafeMode, the web management interface is only available by way of http (not https).
