Upgrade to 'BIGIP-15.1.0.5-0.0.8 (Could not access configuration source; sda, 1)

Hi guys,

I'm trying to upgrade my VE appliance from 'BIGIP-15.1.0.5-0.0.8.iso' to 'BIGIP-17.1.1.4-0.0.9.iso.'

First, I need to upgrade my HD1.2 partition from 'BIGIP-14.1.2-0.0.37.iso' to 'BIGIP-15.1.0.5-0.0.8.iso.'

I previously managed to upgrade the active partition HD1.1, but now it doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone faced a similar issue?

Thanks in advance,

Let me know if I need to give more info!

  • Hi Cristian

     

    can you try to create a new partition, for example HD1.3 and install in that partition?

    Try that please.

    Can you provide what hardware you virtualice that  F5 VE enviorament?

     

    cheers

  • Hi cristianF5,

     

    Could you try to create the new instance using the command line? sometimes the GUI fails, and the command is:

     

    tmsh install sys software image BIGIP-15.1.0.5-0.0.8.iso volume HD1.3 create volume

     

    use this command to validate the installation status

     

    tmsh show sys software status

     

    Hope it works.
