image2disk --nosaveconfig ... stupid question

Hi Nitass,

 

i followed your advise by booting to the old image volume, deleting the hotfix volume, recreating it and installing the hotfix image in the volume using the tmsh install command. However the f5 still boots with it's configuration. Did i miss anything? i used the following syntax to install the hf image:

 

(tmos) install sys software hotfix Hotfix-BIGIP-10.2.4-655.0-HF4.iso volume HD1.X reboot

However the f5 still boots with it's configuration. have you changed db key in sol below before installing?

sorry it should be this sol instead since you are in 10.x on hd1.1 when installing 11.x on hd1.2.

Thanks again Nitass. I've found that b import default does the job, but I'll play with the commands in that link to see if they offer more granularity.

there is also "load sys config default" in tmsh.

Handy, handy tmsh command (!!):

 

 

load sys base-config
