what is the best method to reboot F5 LTm

I would like to know what is the best process to reboot F5 LTM box.   Do I need to halt the services first and then reboot. or directly reboot. it.

There's a few ways.

 

GUI - System - Configuration - Reboot.

 

Else, from the command line I would either use the reboot command or "shutdown -h now" (this will halt and shutdown the BIG-IP). So, to clarify I don't believe you need to Halt the system if rebooting via the command line or GUI.

 

Finally there is the LCD display - here you would Halt the system first before powering off or rebooting.

 

Hope this helps, N
