Installation and upgrade of software on the F5 LTM is extremely straight forward.  Each image is installed onto a slot, the slot can then be upgraded or re-imaged.<\/p>\n

1. Transfer Image<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Create a directory ‘[root@f5:Active] config # mkdir \/shared\/images\/legacy’<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Copy the iso image to the directory ‘\/shared\/images\/legacy’<\/span> using scp.<\/li>\n
  3. Move to the directory ‘[root@f5:Active] config # <\/span>cd \/shared\/images\/legacy’<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Version Upgrade<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Below shows you the commands required for a version 10 installation. Within this example the image will be installed onto slot HD1.2 (and made the default boot image) with a default config.<\/p>\n

    image2disk –instslot=HD1.2 –nosaveconfig –setdefault [software image].iso<\/p>\n

    3. Hotfix Installation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Below shows you the commands required to install a hotfix. Within this example the hotfix will be installed on the image in HD1.2. <\/p>\n

    image2disk –instslot=HD1.2 –hotfix [hotfix image].iso<\/p>\n

    Installation via GUI<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    To install or upgrade the software version via the web interface goto ‘System \/ Software Management’. This will also give you the option to import the software package rather then having to scp it across as described in the previous steps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
