CirrusBIOS upgrade error while BIG-IP software update from 12.0.0 to 14.1.2.3
Greetings!
I was updating BIG-IP software from 12.0.0 to 14.1.2.3 when /var/log/ltm reported:
>>>********** BIOS **********>>>

Tha system is operational but what could cause the failure? Can I upgrade BIOS separately somehow?
Thank you in advance for help ;)

This is due to ID751991 - you will need to raise a F5 Support ticket to obtain a fixed release (Engineering Hotfix).
Ford_PrefectThank you a lot for the answer, but don't you mind to send a link that has bug ID751991 documented by F5? Couldn't find on https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/releasenotes/related/relnote-supplement-bigip-14-1-2-3.html

That ID hasn't made it into a release note or the bug tracker yet.
