    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

Hello,

Adding to the above response, this option (install config) is only available when you are upgrading your software version. booting from an older version to a new one.

as per the screenshot, you are running software version 15.1.8 and going to 15.1.1 which is downgrade actually. And installation the config is only supported when you are upgrading the software version not downgrading the version.

Example:

if you are going to version 16.x, the install config option will be available and you can select it. else, any other version prior to 15.1.8, this option will not be available.

I hope the reason is clear now.

Thanks,

Mohamed Salah
