how can i see HD1.1 or create? Can you please provide the details, commands?

you mean volume disk formatting scheme, don't you? there is create-volume option when installing.

e.g.

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys soft

---------------------------------------------------
Sys::Software Status
Volume  Product  Version    Build  Active    Status
---------------------------------------------------
HD1.1    BIG-IP   11.5.0  0.0.221      no  complete
HD1.2    BIG-IP   11.5.1  0.0.110     yes  complete
HD1.3      none     none     none      no  complete

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) install sys software image BIGIP-11.5.1.0.0.110.iso volume HD1.4 ?
Options:
  create-volume  Create the volume specified by the volume property
  reboot         Reboot the system

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) install sys software image BIGIP-11.5.1.0.0.110.iso volume HD1.4 create-volume

for partition disk formatting scheme, i understand you would see both HD1.1 and HD1.2 when installing software/hotfix (i.e. im command).
