Downloading VE for VmWare

Hi Folks, we are in a process of deploying F5s in a VmWare environment. We will have them only licensed for LTM. My question is what .ova file am I downloading here? 

BIGIP-17.1.0.3-0.0.4.ALL-vmware.ova

OR

BIGIP-17.1.0.3-0.0.4.LTM-vmware.ova

There could be a future use case to apply a APM license key, so will it be the ALL.ova?

    Hi Sandy,

    Yes, I would recommend using .ALL because you might use any other F5 module in the future. so instead of intiailizing any other ova files, you cna use the existing one already.

     

    Thanks,
