Upgrade 9.4.8 to 10.2.1 ERROR

I'm upgrading a new LTM-1600 from 9.4.8 to 10.2.1. After I typed the command:

 

 

image2disk --instslot=HD1.2 --nosaveconfig --format=volumes BIGIP-10.2.1.297.0.iso

 

 

I get the following error:

 

 

warning: system has no isoinfo utility; guessing that the BIGIP-10.2.1.297.0.iso is a product image.

 

Terminal error: You cannot specify the target location when using the format option.

 

 

Can anyone help me with this? The only thing I found thus far has been an article on Askf5.com regarding a 10.x hotfix being installed on an 9.x box, but I'm upgrading the ISO, not a hotfix. And I'm sure the image I downloaded and copied over is the correct file.

 

 

Thanks.

 

Josh

    Hi Josh,

     

     

    In 10.2.1, you can no longer specify the install slot when you're using volumes. The first HDD slot will be used. So just drop the --instslot paramter from image2disk.

    Thanks, had the same issue with 9.47 to 10.2.4.

     

     

    Fix applies to anything updating past 10.2.1 regardless of the version you are starting on. Was hesitant to remove the --instslot=xxx option until I saw this thread.
