Which two items demonstrate the creation of a new volume for software images?

(Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

In BIG-IP, software images are installed on boot volumes (for example, HD1.1, HD1.2, HD1.3, etc.).

To install software on a new volume, the administrator must instruct the system to create a new boot location before installation.

There are two correct ways to create a new volume:

A . tmsh command (with correct syntax)

tmsh install software image /shared/images/BIGIP-<version>.iso volume HD1.5 create-volume

This syntax correctly includes:

install software image

full path to ISO (/shared/images/...)

volume name (HD1.5)

create-volume keyword

This instructs BIG-IP to create the new boot volume as part of the installation.

C . Using the GUI System > Disk Management

From the Disk Management menu, the administrator can:

Select ''New Volume''

Enter the volume identifier (e.g., HD1.5)

Apply changes

This GUI method is officially supported and explicitly creates a new boot volume before installing the software.

Why the other options are incorrect:

B . Incorrect tmsh syntax

Missing /shared/images/ path

Incorrect command structure

D . Incorrect command structure

Missing required keywords and correct command hierarchy

E . Software Management Install does NOT create volumes

This installs to an existing volume only

The GUI install dialog does not create new boot volumes

Thus, only Option A and Option C properly create a new software volume.

Wait, can you really create a volume using just the GUI? Sounds too easy!

I’m confused about the syntax in option B. It seems close, but I don’t recall it being the right format for creating a new volume.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify commands for software installation. I feel like A and E could be the right choices here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about using the GUI for volume creation. Maybe C is one of the answers?

I think options A and D might be correct since they both mention creating a volume with the tmsh command.
