Good day all, In doing an upgrade on a virtual f5 and after loading the partition the gui is seen stuck at “configuration utility restarting”. I have tried restarting tomcat & http based on online information , but its not helping. License is fine with no errors on it. Its been rebooted few times, any suggestions will be welcome. ---

Ok, i have figured it out myself. Hopefully it helps people in similar dire situation. a) check current volume with list /sys software volum b) remove unwanted volume with delete /sys software “volu name (HD1.1)” c) do a load /sys config verify, should return clean with no errors d) reboot e) restart /sys service httpd
