Nimbostratus10.2.0 change from partitions to LVM + HF2
I have a BigIP 1600 running 10.2.0 and I need to apply HF2 to it. It is currently running 10.2.0 (no HF) and is formatted with the older partitions scheme. I am well past the need to ever go back to...
1. save your UCS off the box just to be safe.
2. make sure the 10.2.0 base ISO is on the box somewhere.
3. From right there in 10.0.1, do this: image2disk --format volumes -i HD1.1 --nomoveconfig --nomovelicense
- This will plow the whole system with LVM, then it will plop the 10.2.0 config back down where it was...in HD1.1
4. Boot to your new 10.2.0 installation, which should have your old config. The system should be LVM now. verify with 'lvscan' and see if it returns a logical volume list.
5. Now do that HF installation to HD1.2 or HD1.3, wherever you want. Make sure the 10.2.0 ISO is in /shared/images and that the 10.2.0 HF2 ISO is in there as well.
6. party.
