F5 update from 9.4.8 to 10.2.2

Hello guys,

 

I am stuck with a very confusing state for F5 upgrade from version 9.4.8 to 10.2.2. I used following command

 

image2disk --instslot=HD1.2 --format=volumes BIGIP-10.2.2 : but this was not working mentioning format not allowed on this partition.

 

So i used following commad.

 

image2disk --instslot=HD1.2 BIGIP-10.2.2

 

This completed the instalation but didnot created the "swap partition" which led to the known Issue ID 363331, which impacts the system performance under high load.

 

Which way i should proceed as I have more upgrades to be completed in near future?

    sol12561: Change in Behavior: The image2disk utility --instslot and --format options are now mutually exclusive

    by the way, you know this command will format "whole" harddisk (all slot will be gone), don't you?
