Kindly do a clean installation on the HD you want to use.

What errors are you getting in the LTM logs (Or other)?
Is this failing at software installation ?
Anymore information ?

Don't reinstall the software, What I mean is delete the HD then install the software like this.
See installation checklist.

After you delete the HD then type this in CLI, see sample below:
tmsh install sys software image BIGIP-11.6.0.0.0.401.iso create-volume volume HD1.1

This is hosted in VM. I installed the firmware in GUI to the volume HD1.2. And rebooted the firmware in cli as tmsh and reboot volume HD1.2. It took the new firmware and configuration didn't changed. Few of our applications are not working after upgrade. So I rolled back the changes. Please help me to upgrade this F5 in VM smoothly.
