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...

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.
