Downgrade from BIG-IP 10.2.3 to 9.4.7

Hi Josh,

 

 

I'm downgrading the image to bring the LTMs in line with current production equipment. Painful, I know!

 

 

So, I've gone with using a USB stick to cleanly boot to 9.4.7 using the guide lines here http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/releasenotes/umd_make_install_9_4_x.html.

 

 

However, I'm running into the following issue:

 

 

 

cd ./mkdisk

 

................................................................

 

1129 blocks

 

On which F5 platform will the installation media be used?

Please select a device by index (1 - 24) --->2

 

error: could not find 'GUID:' in /proc/scsi/usb-storage/11

 

Failed to create RemovableDevice object for device

 

 

This seems to be related to the following bug: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/12000/500/sol12536

 

 

The difference being the LTM cannot find the GUID field. Is there any way around this?

 

 

Here's what the usb stick reports:
