You need to have a volume in version 11.6 and then install the hotfix. If you don't you have to install first 11.6 in another volume and then install the HF. You can create a new volume and install directly the HF but you need to have the base image in your big-ip:

 

(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) install sys software hotfix Hotfix-BIGIP-11.6.0.HF7.iso volume HD.1.X create-volume

 

If you have the base image for 11.6.0 tmsh will install it automatically on the volume you specify and then it will install the hotfix on top.
