BigIP v14 single volume - adding a volume

[Jim_M]

I have previously updated software on LTMs. However, the virtual F5 i am working on now only has one disk volume. Is there a different method to install software on a single volume system? if not, how would i add a new volume? In the web interface, i see no options under software volumes or disk volumes to add a new one.

Hi Jim M,

GUI:

System  ››  Software Management : Image List
Select Software Image
Install
Volume set name: 2
Install

CLI:

tmsh
install sys software image BIGIP-16.0.0-0.0.12.iso create-volume volume HD1.2

Thanks for that. I did not realise that the system would create a specified volume if it does not already exist. I have now confirmed that it does just that.

Hi

Does the VE appliance remain active when creating & installing the TMOS as is on the physical with more than 1 volume?
