Can't locate preUpgradeCheck script before Upgrade BIG-IQ to 7.0

Hi,

 

I'm trying to follow the "Tasks to complete before you start the upgrade process" in the following documentation:

 

https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/bigiq-7-0-0/upgrading-big-iq-5-2-thru-6-1-to-latest/big-iq-5-2-6-0-to-6-1-upgrade-overview.html#GUID-BF78B1FE-11A7-4A30-9BCF-7F9594B51425

 

The first step is to run the pre-upgrade check script on the primary BIG-IQ by typing "preUpgradeCheck". However, I've tried to type this command in bash and I get a "command not found" error. I tried to run this command in TMOS and I get "unexpected argument "preUpgradeCheck"". Anyone know where this script is located?

    Opened up a support case with F5. It appears that the first step to run the preUpgradeCheck script is incomplete. In order to run the script, you first have to download the file from downloads.f5.com and BIG-IQ CM. There will be a readme file called F5_Networks_BIG_IQ_PreUpgradeCheck_Tool_README.txt as well as a TAR file called the same name. The readme will step you through the process.

     

    Thought I would share in case anyone was looking for it.
