Hard drive firmware upgrade

Dear All,

 

We're having an issue with our BIG-IP LTM 3900 in which we cannot backup/configsync our configuration file to the secondary box because of the below error:

 

Operation Status Saving active configuration... mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/tmp/cert_temp': Read-only file

 

Did anyone upgrade the Hard drive firmware successfully?

 

Also, During upgradation, all network cable should necessarly removed or that is only for EUD upgradatio?

 

Can you please share the steps you followed.

 

Thanks

    This error may or may not be indicative of a need to upgrade hard drive firmware, but doing an upgrade on 3900s won't hurt at all. It s a very painless process that is done from EUD and does not require removal of any cables - I have done it a number of times

    This is error under /var/log/ltm

    err statsd[4087]: 011b0600:3: Error 'opening '/var/rrd/connections': Read-only file system' during rrd_update for rrd file '/var/rrd /connections'

    And if I go for synchronization with the peer device I am getting the below error :
