    Hello Alex_Ng ,

    Sometimes this happens , don't worry you can solve it.

    1. Open bigip Cli , after installing .ISO file in the bootlocation.


    2. use this command on bash:
      cpcfg --source=SLOT --reboot <destination_location>

      For Example if you upgrade from HD1.2 to HD1.3 , this command should be like below : 
      cpcfg --source=HD1.2 --reboot HD1.3​

       

    Doing that will copy configs from old to new bootlocation then reboot from the new one.

    you will find more options here : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K14724

If you haven't made any configuration changes since you installed the new code version you don't have to select that because it automatically installs the configuration from the current saved configuration. The source volume is really only necessary if you made changes from when you installed the new code version to when you are rebooting into that volume. You can go into the CLI and run the command in the following article which will achieve the same thing as the GUI.

You are looking for section "Reboot to the newly updated or upgraded software volume" step 3 which should be the following command.

cpcfg --source=<volume name to copy the configuration from> <newly installed software volume>
