Downloads guest images for a specific appliance from the DTI network and stores them in a cache on the Central Management System appliance.
Important
You can currently use this command to download guest images for Network Security 7.7.0 appliances only. However, if the guest images in the cache are compatible for other appliances, they can be used for those appliances.
You can explicitly download guest images and store them in the cache. This saves bandwidth and shortens the maintenance window for appliance updates. It also allows you to be flexible about scheduling appliance updates, because the guest images are already downloaded and ready to push to the appliances. For details about the DTI cache, see theCentral Management System Administration Guide.
Note
If the DTI network has a delta file containing the changes between the guest images already installed on an appliance and the latest guest images, only the delta file is downloaded to the cache.
Syntax

Parameters
