Install rpm packages using tmsh

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to install the F5 Cloud Failover Extension (CFE) on my BIG-IP system, but I’m struggling to properly install the RPM package so that it appears under iApps → Package Management LX.

Here’s what I have done so far:

  • Successfully downloaded f5-cloud-failover-2.1.3-3.noarch.rpm
  • Tried installing the package using rpm -ivh f5-cloud-failover-2.1.3-3.noarch.rpm.
  • Restarted the REST API service using tmsh restart sys service restjavad.

Despite these steps, the package does not appear under iApps → Package Management LX

Also when I reinstall the package I get "package f5-cloud-failover-2.1.3-3.noarch is already installed"

Is there a specific command to install RPM packages via TMSH so they are properly recognized? Or is there another step required to make the extension available?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
