DESCRIPTION
You can use the status component to display the status of the software installation, including whether the
system is active, the name of the product being installed, the software version and build number of the
software, and the slot and volume on which the software is installed.
After you use the install sys software image command (see install and "sys software image") to install a new
software image, you can use this command to monitor the progress of the installation. A percentage meter
appears in the Status column.
