NimbostratusRseries SCP OS to appliance from remote server
I'm new to rseries but I need to SCP an OS from a remote server onto the appliance via CLI. Server I am admining from holding OS only allows SCP file transfers out and https is not an option. What is the file path?
From a admin linux box to r5600 i tried:
"#scp <local F5OS.iso filename> admin@<r5600 IPaddress>:/system/images/staging"
"#scp <local F5OS.iso filename> admin@<r5600 IPaddress>:/images/staging"
"#scp <local F5OS.iso filename> admin@<r5600 IPaddress>:/system/images/import/iso"
"#scp <local F5OS.iso filename> admin@<r5600 IPaddress>:/images/import/iso"
Each time I get the response "Invalid pathname"
https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/f5os-a-1-5-0/f5-rseries-systems-administration-configuration/title-system-settings.html discusses it some but does not give me all of the information I need (or water it down enough for me).
Any help is always apprecriated
Hi Ciscoape,
/var/import/staging/ /var/export/chassis/import/iso/Can you try with these pathnames?
Hi Ciscoape,
/var/import/staging/ /var/export/chassis/import/iso/Can you try with these pathnames?
Ciscoape/var/import/staging/Defenitly worked. I didn't even need to try the second path. I feel like I need a F5 Docker class.

I wonder what is the difference between the two directories? Where should I upload an .iso image for a system upgrade of r5900 appliance?
Hi michal-k,
One is a symbolic link to the other. When you upload an .iso file to one of these directories, it will also appear in the other.
/var/import/staging/ /var/export/chassis/import/iso/- michal-k
Thanks a lot for the clarification, this helps..
