This describes the work area of the BSC. The work area is used to store all the versions of system software. The work area consists of running area, active area, and standby area.
Running Area
The area on the server that is used to store all the software loaded to a board. Usually, it refers to the flash of a board.
Active Area
The area on the server that is used for the server to store the software to be activated after online upgrade of the system. The patches for the BSC software are also stored in the active area.
NOTE:
