This image will be used only after rebooting the switch!
You will not be able to download a new image to the primary paritition because it is active. Once you reboot on the secondary parition, you can then re-copy the new image so that both your primary and secondary images match. Altneratively, you can leave an old image in the event you want to rollback to the previous software version.
