The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality.

To enable automatic copying of boot image files to the standby VSM, use the boot auto-copy command. To disable automatic copying, use the no form of this command.
When automatic copying of image files is enabled, the Cisco NX-OS software copies the image files referred to by the boot variable to the standby VSM. These image files must be present in local memory on the active VSM. For kickstart and system boot variables, only those image files that are configured for the standby VSM are copied.
