a3sysBootSources

This parameter is used to specify how the entries
in this table are used.
          
If this object is set to primary(1), the system
will use only the primary boot source when
rebooting.  (note, this is the entry where
a3sysUblSource = primary(1)).
          
If this object is set to primaryAndSecondary(2),
the system will attempt to boot first from the
primary boot source, and, if that fails (after
a3sysUblMaxRetries attemps), the system will
try the secondary boot source.
          
If this object has the value testWithPrimaryBackup(3),
the system, when rebooting, will perform a test boot
using the 'test' boot source.  Note, the NetBuilder Remote 
Office and NetBuilder II use entry 3 in a3sysUserBootListTable 
as the 'test' boot source (a3sysUblSource = test(3)), 
while other 3Com routers (NetBuilder Remote, NetBuilder 
Remote Control, NetBuilder Local, and NetBuilder Remote 
Access) don't support all 4 rows in a3sysUserBootListTable,
and simply use the secondary boot source (a3sysUblSource = secondary(2))
to identify the 'test' boot source.
          
After booting from the 'test' boot source, if the
Test Recovery Timer (a3sysTestRecoveryTimer) is
allowed to count down to zero, the system will
reboot using the primary boot source.  (see the
reference guide for details about test booting).
When in this mode, to prevent the system from rebooting
using the primary boot source, the Test Recovery Timer
(a3sysTestRecoveryTimer) must be set to zero.
          
Note, this object cannot be set to testWithPrimaryBackup(3)
explicitly.  Instead, by setting a3sysTestBootTimer to a 
non-zero value, the system will automatically go into
'Test Boot' mode and this object will be given the
value testWithPrimaryBackup(3).
          
If this object has the value secondary(4), the system will
use only the secondary boot source when rebooting.
