SolutionIf you want to keep both then you will need to download from the HP website or keep in file.
Hope that makes sense.

Re: PCM - updating switch software best practice
With the PCM software update wizard you can copy the new version to the primary or secondary flash. You have to select it.
Then you can choose to reboot after the copying has succeeded.
When you select a group of switches to do the copying to, make sure all of te selected switches 'need' the new firmware in the primary or secondary flash. You can can do this by selcting all switches and run the 'show flash' command in the CLI wizard. If there are differences make a custom group with the same flash the new firmware has to be copied to.

Re: PCM - updating switch software best practice
I usually do the following:
switch# show flash
(check firmware versions in each location)
switch# copy flash flash secondary
(copies the primary flash to the secondary flash)
Then copy the new firmware file into the primary flash. That way you always have a known working flash in secondary, and you don't have to modify any boot parameters because it will always boot from the primary flash.
