Hi Brad76,
Clean Installation:
1. Use fat32 usb
2. Copy .iso image to usb
3. Mount usb to device
4. Reboot
5. Enter bios and boot from usb
6. Wipe disk
diskinit --style volumes7. Verify system as 'W95 FAT32' - not required
fdisk -l /dev/sdb8. Create "usb" folder in "mnt" and mount
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb9. Start installation via "image2disk" command
image2disk --format=volumes --nosaveconfig --nosavelicense /mnt/usb/BIGIP-14.1.2.2-0.0.4.iso10. Eject usb after installation
11. Reboot

NimbostratusThanks for the reply. I get all those steps but my device isn't picking up the image on the USB.
The bigip device has a corrupted filesystem right now (reason we are rebuilding) and is in a constant reboot.
I created the FAT32 USB with the iso saved to the USB drive. My device does see the USB drive on a reboot but it doesn't boot into MOS and kick off the install script like the article states.
This is where I'm stuck. I've tried different ways to create the USB drive and different USB drives.
Without the USB in the device will boot into the section where I select TMOS Maintenance mode but that hasn't helped me get anywhere.
Brad
