CirrostratusInstalling JDBC drivers for SQL Monitors
Morning all.
I have been asked to setup my LTM to monitor a couple of MSSQL servers. Although this in itself seems straightforward I have a question re. the installation of JDBC drivers (http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm_configuration_guide_10_0_0/ltm_appendixa_monitor_types.html)
Does anyone know if this installation is preserved during upgrades (whether it is a HotFix or a Major release). I don't want to have to add a step to my upgrade procedure to re-install these drivers.
Is there a reason these files are not loaded automatically as part of the Operating System?
p.s. I am on v11.4.1.

That link is for LTM 10.0. You should not have to install external JDBC drivers in 11.4.1. In fact, from SOL12179, you haven't needed to install JDBC drivers since 10.1.0.

Here's the 11.4.1 monitors reference document:
