Upgrading BIG-IP on the command line:

1. Upload the image to your BIG-IP’s /shared/images directory

1. scp root@:/shared/images/

2. Login to your BIG-IP

1. Ssh [email protected]

3. Make sure the image is verified

1. tmsh list /sys software image

4. Install the image in existing non-active volume (**or create one)

1. tmsh install /sys software image volume HD1.2

5. Wait for your BIG-IP to complete the installation

1. tmsh show /sys software status

6. Copy your BIG-IP config, if desired, into the newly updated volume and reboot

1. cpcfg --source=HD1.1 --reboot HD1.2

7. Take a bow, grab a beverage, call it a day
