Preparation before upgrade:

1: confirm the current device hardware support for the target version of the upgrade

2: download the target version of the image file from the official website

3: backup device configuration files, license files

Upgrade operation of F5 device version 9.x

Step one:

Upload the prepared patches and ISO image files to the CVM. Use SFTP software to upload files to the device (/ shared/p_w_picpaths)

Step 2:

Apply the latest patch for the current version (or confirm in advance that you can span upgrades to avoid large versions that cannot span upgrades)

Note:

1:F5 devices cannot install images and patches to the current active partition after version 10.0

2: when upgrading across major versions, you need to overupgrade and update the device license

3: an exception may occur on both computers after the upgrade, which needs to be reconfigured.

Upgrade of F5 device version 10.x

Step one:

Import the required iso image and hotfix patch file into the F5 device / shared/p_w_picpaths (current version final patch, target version system image, target version image latest patch)

Step 2:

Assuming that the final patch for the current system version is hotfix-HF10, the system is in the HD1.1 partition and the HD1.2 partition is idle.
