Hotfix upgrade for Active and standby systems

Hi, I'm working on task to upgrade Hotfix for the systems in active/standby running with version 11.X.

 

Could you please share any document which would help to understand the steps to be followed for Hotfix upgrade?

 

While upgrading hotfix for VCMP host system, does the reboot of the vCMP host cause the reboot of the VCMP guest as well?

 

Regards, Thiyagu

    Upload the hotfix ISO image to /shared/images directory (use SCP) ; Install the current version of F5 on a new partition. When done follow by installing the hotfix; Reboot to a new partition. Done.

    Question: "While upgrading hotfix for VCMP host system, does the reboot of the vCMP host cause the reboot of the VCMP guest as well?" - Yep, all the guests will go down if you reboot the host system.
