NimbostratusRPM Package on F5
Hello All,
We notice below rpmpkgs file in our LTM boxes. Based on the timestamps there seems to be rpm executed periodically. We did not manually run rpm to install any packages, why is there rpmpkgs file created ? Is there some scheduled software updates periodically and what is it updating ?

On my VE BIG-IP the rpmpkgs log only seems to get updated when booted. What's in your rpmpkgs logfile?
