F5 Software Upgrade (14.1.0.6) UNABLE TO INSTALL IMAGE
Hey Guys!!!!! So I have done many software code upgrades in my life but I am having issues while upgrading from 12.1.4 to 14.1.0.6 & I am wondering if you guys could possibly help me. I have tried pulling the image via SCP from my desktop to the F5, tried using Curl and pulling the image from the F5, & also tried to import via GUI. When pulling the image I can see the ISO file under the intended directory (/shared/images) but I can't seem to figure out why the BIP-IP won't let me install the new ISO file I have pulled & ran a MD5 checksum on. Please any suggestions are appreciated. # Successful MD5 Checksum [root@1034180-O3-F5EC:Active:Standalone] images # md5sum --check BIGIP-14.1.0.6-0.0.9.iso.md5 BIGIP-14.1.0.6-0.0.9.iso: OK # Pulled Image [root@1034180-O3-F5EC:Active:Standalone] images # ls | grep 14.1.0.6 BIGIP-14.1.0.6-0.0.9.iso BIGIP-14.1.0.6-0.0.9.iso.md5 # Not able to install new Image (Only showing current ISO Image but no 14.1.0.6 image....) root@(1034180-O3-F5EC)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)# install sys software image Options: create-volume Configuration Items: BIGIP-12.1.4.0.0.8.iso Cheers, Chase Woodard Mantra Networking Consulting | Rackspace HostingF5 platform EoSD and Software EoSD is different.

Software upgrade Host Hypervisor and VCMP's planning
Hi All, I am working for a company which asked me to plan a software upgrade of their Big-IP Platform 10250v (D113) which is a cluster of 2 devices in Active/Passive mode. They have the Host running on release of v13.1.0 (released 19/12/2017) and their VCMP's (5 in total) in a mix of v13.1.0.8 (released 26/06/2018) and v14.1.2.2 (released 14/11/2019). I looked up the details and at this moment their platform is as of 21st of April 2020 in EoNSS State which means no upgrade to v16x anymore in the near future but v15.1.x is supported. So far not a problem and I proposed to bring the full cluster to the latest release of v14.1.x first and in a next phase to v15.1.x so they can benefit of the latest security stuff and on long term support release to be compatible as long as possible on this platform (they wan't to look for a replacement in 2022 but not sooner). Now their remark was that the HostHypervisoris not parsing any traffic and only hosting the VCMP's so they don't see the need on upgrading that platform and only want to focus on the VCMP's. In the documentation I found it's perfectly OK to do this as long as you're running anything from v11.4.1 HF3 - v15.1.0.11.3.0 on the Host and same for the Guest. F5 however recommends running the most recent version on both Host and VCMP. So my question is now is if anyone has an ideahow I could"convince/proof"that the Host upgrade is preferred as well? In the release notes there is the huge list of improvements but nothing specific in regards Host vs VCMP. For now I plan to do the VCMP's only but would like to do the Host as well.Error when downloading from downloads.f5.com
I was given a task to update our F5 Viprion's software version this weekend. However, upon checking for the latest software version on F5's downloads website, I came across an error which is: Export Compliance Check - Failure All downloadable files are presented with this error when I tried to download.
Understanding LTM folder in configuration
https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/600/sol13649.html A Sync-Only device group must be associated with a folder other than the / or /Common folders. Sometimes it's confusing to understand the folder concept in LTM. It seems related to partition and device group. Can anyone help me to understand this ?F5 update check issue
