Create new boot locations using partitions of hard disk

Hi,

How to create a new boot locations using partition of hard disk?

We have two F5 unit in Active/Standby and the active F5 is showing two partitions. But in Standby F5 unit I am seeing only one partition so I want to create another partition in Standby F5 unit and then will do version upgrade. Not sure how it was deleted.

In Standby - [som@NUL-DYOD-DMZ-F5-1:Standby] ~ switchboot -l

Current boot image: HD1.1 - BIG-IP 9.4.8 Build 407.0 Default boot image: HD1.1 - BIG-IP 9.4.8 Build 407.0

Available boot image(s):

HD1.1 - BIG-IP 9.4.8 Build 407.0

In Active-

[som@NUL-DYOD-DMZ-F5-2:Active] ~ switchboot -l

Current boot image: HD1.2 - BIG-IP 9.4.8 Build 407.0 Default boot image: HD1.2 - BIG-IP 9.4.8 Build 407.0

Available boot image(s):

HD1.1 - BIG-IP 10.2.4 Build 577.0

HD1.2 - BIG-IP 9.4.8 Build 407.0

Thanks Somnath

      Looks like you're already in bash shell. Wasn't aware you were on v9. I don't have a v9 box so I can't be of much help.

      Hi! From bash to tmsh you just have to enter "tmsh" command, while to go back to bash from tmsh you have to enter the "run /util bash" command! Hope it may still help you!
