Unable to boot from CD - LTM 1500

Hello,

 

 

I am currently running version 9.2.3. I have trying to upgrade the image to 10.0 or 10.2.3.

 

 

 

I have setup the boot sequence to boot from USB CD-ROM. However, neither 10.0 nor 10.2.3 boots from the CD upon F5 reboot. I have used several CD-R, DVD-RW and have verified their checksum as well as confirmed that the CD's are bootable through third party tools. Yet, I am not able to boot the F5 LTM 1500 from the CD.

 

 

Please advise if I am missing something. I am simply following the F5 procedure on software upgrade through iso downloaded image from a CD/DVD.

 

 

 

Do I need to do something else to ensure the F5 boots from the CD (for e.g. any command to mount the device etc..)

 

 

Hope to get a quick reply.

 

 

Thanks.

    the CD's are bootable through third party tools.how did you create bootable cdrom? you burned by opening an iso file, didn't you?

     

     

    Do I need to do something else to ensure the F5 boots from the CD (for e.g. any command to mount the device etc..)no.

     

     

    by the way, have you ever checked boot order in host subsystem's bios?
