Often with the Bigip-VEs, installing an image or hotfix via the GUI will be impossible because the volume drop-down menu is empty:
The workaround is to instead install the image via CLI with the “create-volume” option:
(tmos)# bash # ls /shared/images/*.iso /shared/images/BIGIP-13.1.1.4-0.0.4.iso # tmsh (tmos)# install sys software image BIGIP-13.1.1.4-0.0.4.iso volume HD1.2 create-volume (tmos)# show sys software status ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sys::Software Status Volume Product Version Build Active Status ---------------------------------------------------------------- HD1.1 BIG-IP 13.1.0.8 0.0.1 yes complete HD1.2 BIG-IP 13.1.1.4 0.0.4 no installing 10.000 pct
At this point you can go back to GUI, watch the installation complete, and boot to that volume.
