To reboot a BIG-IP box from a different volume (say from HD1.1), run this:

curl -sku : https:///mgmt/tm/sys -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"command":"reboot", "volume":"HD1.1"}'

To check the available volumes, run this:

curl -sku :https:///mgmt/tm/sys/software/status

The endpoints belong to BIG-IP, not BIG-IQ specific, but they should work from BIG-IQ. For details, please refer to the Command section (pp. 57-65) of iControl REST User Guide Version 13.1.

The equivalent local tmsh commands are 

tmsh reboot volume HD1.1
and 
tmsh show sys software status
respectively.
