IM tool failing on ISO image

Hello,   On a Big IP LTM 1500 with 9.4.2, I'm having an error when running the im tool on the ISO image. Any ideas on why this is failing?   [root@bip1:Active] images ...

Let's hope that is your lab device and not a production unit. Version 9 and 10 are dead for a long time ago. There is no support for that, neither is available for download in .

 

"Any ideas on why this is failing?" Multiple things...

 

First 1500 does support 10.2.4, so is a good start.

Next, you need to use image to disk:

You will have a lot of problems, disk to volumes, partitions size. Unless you want to keep v9 with v10, just do a clean install using a USB pen drive.
