BIG-IP LBL 1500
I'm going to use server load balancing with SSL encryption (certificate) for two web servers. What do you think about BIG-IP Load Balancer Limited 1500?

I have got a problem with my BIG-IP 1500 system.
I was doing a BIGIP V.9.1.2 clean install, when the BIG-IP exited the installation process and came back to the shell prompt.
i rebooted the system but it would not boot anymore to the pre-installed OS.
I got the below error message on the console :
--------------MESSAGE BEGINS HERE---------------
System is booting, please wait...
Press Ctrl-c to stop autoboot: 5 4 3 2 1 0
kernel.core_uses_pid = 0
kernel.core_pattern = /var/core/%e.sccp.core
Host Console Shell --- Press ( for command menu.
-------------MESSAGE BEGINS END ------------------
The BIG-IP system stops at the above location and when I press "( " as displayed on the console,
I get the below command menu :
-----------MENU STARTS HERE---------------
[hostconsh] Command Menu:
1 --- Connect to Host subsystem console
2 --- Select Host subsystem boot mode: boot from local drive
3 --- Select Host subsystem boot mode: netboot manufacturing test
4 --- Select Host subsystem boot mode: netboot from external server
5 --- Reboot Host subsystem (sends reboot command)
6 --- Halt Host subsystem (sends halt command)
7 --- Reset Host subsystem (issues hardware reset--USE WITH CARE!)
8 --- Reboot SCCP subsystem (issues hardware reset--USE WITH CARE!)
9 --- Halt SCCP subsystem (issues hardware shutdown--USE WITH CARE!)
D --- Run Diagnostics
I --- Run BIG-IP Installer (issues hardware reset--USE WITH CARE!)
B --- SCCP baud rate configurator
L --- SCCP login
N --- SCCP network configurator
---------------MENU ENDS HERE------------------
But I don't know how to boot the BIG-IP from the above command menu.
have you ever had this kind of problem before ?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance.

The load balancer limited does not support SSL offloading. Only the full BIG-IP LTM 1500 does.
