Hi Nitass,

 

you tried to install 11.2.1 hf10 on 10.1.0 partition/slot but failed. am i correct? Yes, correct.

 

ow did you install 11.2.1 hf10? did you switchboot to 10.1.0 partition/slot and then installed 11.2.1 hf10? - Yes, I did the same.

 

Actually when 10.1.0 was loaded from the suspicious partition, the appliance wasn't reachable or responding. While connecting over console, we found that it was showing only UNIX commands, and no BIG-IP commands on CLI.

 

I thought to reboot the appliance from a different partition which had the same image installed i.e. 10.1.0. It ran well.

 

Now, I have installed the new image i.e. 11.2.1 to the suspicious partition, and it is not installing.

 

Any suggestion?
