The CTO image refers to the hardware information on the node rather than the OneFS version. CTO stands for Configure To Order, so there is no standard image on a CTO node. I believe you are thinking of the OneFS version, not the CTO information. A node should come from the factory with the correct CTO image on it. You should also be able to reimage (OneFS) the node without the CTO image. You would need the CTO image in the rare case the node loses its CTO image information or in the case of upgrades.

Hi JoZi,
