Trying to upgrade the lab enviroment, from 10.1.0.3341.0.1 to 11.5.3.0.0.163

Hi,

Im trying to upgrade our lab enviroment from 10.1.0.3341.0.1 to 11.5.3.0.0.163, but its failing and i cannot figure out why.

root@lb01a(Active)(tmos) / sys software status
root@lb01a(Active)(tmos.sys.software.status) show

Sys::Software Status
Volume  Product  Version   Build  Active    Status
--------------------------------------------------
HD1.1      none     none    none      no  complete
HD1.2    BIG-IP   10.1.0  3341.0     yes  complete


root@lb01a(Active)(tmos) install sys software image BIGIP-11.5.3.0.0.163.iso  volume HD1.1

root@lb01a(Active)(tmos) show sys soft status

Sys::Software Status
Volume  Product  Version    Build  Active                                   Status
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HD1.1    BIG-IP   11.5.3  0.0.163      no  failed (Can't find requested disk HD1.)
HD1.2    BIG-IP   10.1.0   3341.0     yes                                 complete


MD5 checksum is OK.
The same happens when i try to go via the webgui...

Any ideas? I cant figure this one out.

  • Is sol15459 relevant to your install? Also see sol16518

     

    "You cannot install BIG-IP 11.0.0 or later on BIG-IP 10.x systems that run in partitions disk format.

     

    Terminal error: Can't find requested disk HD1."

     

  • Im not certain, this is what the liveinstall log says

    debug: tm_install::Volume::Volume_open -- name=sda.dat.boot, nw=yes, rp=(none) 
    debug: new temp mount dir /mnt/tm_install/19206.ecFhCy created for sda.dat.boot

    **Also i found this in the liveinstall:**

    To me it looks like its getting cutoff at the dot, like 1.2 and its only interpreting it as "1."

  • Upgrade from 10.1.0 to 10.2.4. Upgrade from 10.2.4 to 11.0.0 Upgrade from 11.0.0 to 11.2.0 Upgrade from 11.2.0 to 11.5.3 You cannot directly upgrade from version 10 to anything past version 11.2 as it will fail. Try the upgrade path above and see if it works. It is a "best effort" and things may need to be manually changed in the bigip.conf file to get the config to work.
  • Im having the worst luck havn't I? Im now getting : Terminal error: create_ucs failed; No such file or directory

    so its not the same errmsg..
