Installing the HF is dead easy. Do the initial setup first, get the management IP up and running and license the unit.

 

 

Once youv'e installed the HF on a different volume than current, simply use switchboot -b 'volume' to set the boot volume and reboot (You can do this from the web GUI as well BTW). The config will have been copied across, so you don't need to run setup again.

 

 

If you really want to reset so the user HAS to go through the initial setup the procedure is described in http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/10000/500/sol10519.html (10.0 and 9.x had sys-reset, but 10.2.0 doesn't have it, there's a longer procedure to follow :).
