Mar 23, 2012MD5 checksum before upgrade
Hello,
In order to upgrade Active and Passive BigIP to 11.10.1.1943 version, I downloaded BIGIP-11.1.0.1943.0.iso and BIGIP-11.1.0.1943.0.iso.md5 from F5downloads website.
Before starting the upgrade, I would like to check the ISO file.
md5sum BIGIP-11.1.0.1943.0.iso
ef58015b152179b95bcce9d4331ba559 BIGIP-11.1.0.1943.0.iso
cat BIGIP-11.1.0.1943.0.iso.md5
1a44eca3d6b0fd9826120b130b9f00fd BIGIP-11.1.0.1943.0.iso
As you can see results mismatch.
I checked all size files and It seems correct.
Do you have any idea why it mismatches ?
Thank you

Hi,
Why we using md5sum command base image and cat for md5 file to verify? any reason?
IRONMAN please start a new question, that makes it clearer for others to find it.
md5sum calculates a MD5 value of file the cat on the MD5 file shows the value that F5 calculated on that same file
comparing these two values makes makes sure it is correct.
