BIG-IP Next does not work on KubeVirt

Hi all,

I use a KubeVirt based Hypervisor called Harvester (https://harvesterhci.io) and tried to start a BIG-IP Next Instance with the BIG-IP-Next-20.3.0-2.716.2+0.0.50.qcow2.tar.gz image.

The VM does start but I cannot see any service on tcp port 5443 running after doing setup.

What I have seen when I checked the logs of the f5-platform-manager deployment is the following:

2025-02-06T12:52:25.985842479Z stdout F "ts"="2025-02-06 12:52:25.985"|"l"="info"|"m"="Found an unknown Bios vendor"|"id"="19093-000230"|"lt"="A"|"vendor"="KubeVirt"|"pod"="f5-platform-manager-6f78695744-p48tr"|"ct"="f5-platform-manager"|"v"="1.0"|"src"="surveyor/z100_detector.go:60"

So what can I do to get this BIG-IP Next Instance running on the VM?

Thanks,
Peter

    Hello Peter, 

     

    I noticed your question has been up for quite some time without any responses. We would like to know if outside of our community you were able to get an answer to your question? If not i would like to direct you to Introduction to BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes and beyond that if you have support I would urge you to create a case through myf5. However, if you have a resolution, please provide us with an update so we can ensure it is in our knowledge for future users. 

     

    Thank you! 

    Melissa
