Topic #: 2
A BIG-IP Administrator needs to install a HotFix on a standalone BIG-IP device.
The device currently has HD1.1 as the Active Boot Location.
The administrator has already reactivated the license and created a UCS archive.
In which sequence should the administrator perform the remaining steps?
When installing a software upgrade with a HotFix on BIG-IP, the correct workflow requires:
Install the base TMOS image on an unused boot volume
Install the corresponding HotFix onto that same boot volume
Activate the updated boot volume to boot into the new software
This method ensures:
The existing active system (HD1.1) is untouched
The upgrade occurs in a new, clean volume (HD1.2)
The HotFix applies properly to the same base image
The administrator can revert to HD1.1 if issues occur
Option C matches the correct F5 upgrade sequence:
1. Install base image on HD1.2
2. Install HotFix on HD1.2
3. Activate HD1.2
Why the other options are incorrect:
A . Install HotFix before base image
HotFixes must be applied after the base image; not valid.
B . Installing a HotFix on the active boot location (HD1.1)
Not recommended and does not use a clean new volume.
Also does not involve installing the base image.
D . Activating HD1.2 before installing anything
Cannot activate an empty or invalid boot volume.
Thus, Option C is the correct sequence.
