Upgrading Viprion 9.6.1

David,

 

 

It looks like you're running a Viprion-only release (builld 9.6.1) of the Big-IP platform. The F5 Management Pack is using a slightly different approach for connecting to a Viprion, vs. a standard Big-IP device. The problem here is the Viprion platform version that you're running (build 9.6.1), which was the first release of its kind and has been immediately hot-fixed after release. Consequently, our management pack supports Viprions starting with build 10.0.1.

 

 

That being said, we have a couple of options here:

 

 

1. Upgrade the Viprion platform to the latest version.

 

2. Wait a couple of weeks, for our next Management Pack release, which would include a "downgrade" fix for supporting the 9.6 Viprions as well.

 

 

Please let us know if any of these options would work for you. We do understand that the issue is critical and if none of the alternatives above are acceptable, we can explore other ways to unblock you.

 

 

In the meantime thank you for your patience and understanding.

 

Julian
