Hi guys

 

I need your help !

 

script delete after upgrade

I don't know why script is deleted

script located in /var/tmp

 

thank you

  • Hello.

    F5 uses LVM to map their partitions.

    Only some partitions are shared between all different volumes (upgrade boot locations)

    • /shared - /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-dat.share.1
    • /var/log - /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-dat.log.1

    The rest of the partitions are independent for each volume (boot location).

      set.2._config            vg-db-sda -wi-ao---    3.17g                                             
      set.2._usr               vg-db-sda -wi-ao---    3.29g                                             
      set.2._var               vg-db-sda -wi-ao---    3.00g                                             
      set.2.root               vg-db-sda -wi-ao---  440.00m 

    As you can see above, there are two sets of var/usr/config/root partitions (1 and 2).

    These numbers correspond with the digits used in your volume (HD1.1 and HD1.2).

    # tmsh show sys software
     
    -------------------------------------------------

    Volume  Product  Version  Build  Active    Status

    HD1.1    BIG-IP   12.1.5  0.0.6     yes  complete
    HD1.2    BIG-IP   12.1.3.4  0.0.2     no  complete

    So, your lost script should be located in the next partition:

    /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.#._var

    Where '#' is the number of your previous volume.
