i worked with F5 Support and the issue resolved after doing a clean install , the bad news is that i lost all my config and i configured the device from the scratch , here are the steps we followed to fix the issue:

 

  1. downgrade to 11.4.0
  2. delete the HD1.3 which has 11.5 installed on in. tmsh delete sys software volume HD1.3
  3. modify the db key tmsh modify sys db liveinstall.moveconfig value disable tmsh modify sys db liveinstall.saveconfig value disable
  4. install the 11.5.0 into the HD1.3 tmsh install sys software image <11.5.0 iso file> create-volume volume HD1.3
  5. reboot to the HD1.5 tmsh reboot volume HD1.3
