NimbostratusIs it possible to install vCMP host image from the vCMP guest CLI?
I have transferred a new image to a vCMP host and was attempting to a run a script to install the image on of the all guests on the host. It returned the following error:
Data Input Error: Could not locate image "BIGIP-14.1.0.2-0.0.4.iso"
When I checked each guest using the 'tmsh list sys software image' command I didn't see 'BIGIP-14.1.0.2-0.0.4.iso' listed. When I log into the GUI, I see 'BIGIP-14.1.0.2-0.0.4.iso'in the 'Image List' and the 'Image Source' is 'Host'.
So can a host image be installed from the CLI of the guest and if so what is the command?
ackaljnYes, the command to use an image from the vCMP host is "install sys software block-device-image 'image_name' volume 'volume_name'"
