CirrostratusF5 upgrade with only one HD
Hello F5!
I have a question, I am going to upgrade F5 (12.1.2 to 13.1.4) but it only has one HD location HD1.1. I am worried that after I install the 13.1.4 version on HD1.1 I will lose my configuration file since we only have one HD. This is the step I am pertaining to
- On the Main menu, click System > Software Management > Boot Locations.
- In the Boot Location list, click the boot location of the installed new software image.
- From the Install Configuration list, select Yes. The Source Volume list appears.
- From the Source Volume list, select the location of the configuration to install when activating the boot location of the new software image. For example, for an installation of a new software image on HD1.3, selecting HD1.2:11.6.0 installs the version 11.6.0 configuration.
- Click Activate. Device A reboots to the new software image boot location in offline state.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Actually, you cannot install your new release 13.1.4 on HD1.1, you need to create a new one..
1) Upload the new image
2) Install the new image, you need to define a new volume set (i.e., 2 -> HD1.2)
3) Access volume H1.2 and active it (wait until reboot)

cathy_123wow thank you so much Dario! This is so informative. So when I click the install it will ask me to create a new volume set.
Thanks!
