software image on vm

Good day all,

 

we have a big-ip virtual on vsphere. To upgrade this big-ip, i downloaded appropriate big-ip-scsi.ova image from f5 and import it to this virtual f5.

However after the import completion, the new image is not to be seen in the image list.

 

Am i doing anything wrong or does the image need to be importted in a different format into the f5.

    Process is correct. Can you search image here "cd /shared/images".

    thank you, yes the new .OVA image can be seen in the above path. I can't still see in gui though.

    i do see that existing image this virtual f5 is running is seen in .ISO format with above command.

     

    How do i install this new software (.OVA) on the virtual f5?
