Upgrade an Virtual F5 edition.

Folks,

I need some help with documentation on upgrading a Virtual F5 device.

 

We are running "12.1.3.6" and we are looking at an upgrade to "12.1.5" to resolve a config sync issue that we are facing.

The major challenge I have is that unlike the physical device this virtual device shows only one partition. i.e. HD1.1

 

How would you folks recommend on going through with this upgrade?

 

 

Thanks!!

Neel.

      My issue as of now is when I am trying to import the new image it does not show up. The import shows as 100% successful but the image is never seen on the F5.

        I can see the file under "/shared/images", having difficulties getting this installed.

  • That's the nice thing about upgrades, creating a new partition with the new code which is then booted from. If something goes sour, you can reboot using the original partition. I include the software version in partition names for quicker reference but, that's me.
