Exam F5CAB1 Topic 1 Question 38 Discussion

Actual exam question for F5's F5CAB1 exam
Question #: 38
Topic #: 1
A BIG-IP Administrator is using Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) to transfer a TMOS image to the BIG-IP system in preparation for an upgrade.
To what directory should the file be transferred?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

BIG-IP systems require all ISO images (base TMOS images and HotFix images) to be stored in a specific directory used for software installation:
/shared/images/
This directory:
* Is theonly supported locationfrom which the BIG-IP software installation system validates and installs ISO files
* Is accessible by both the GUI and TMSH installers
* Has adequate storage space allocated specifically for images
* Is part of the shared partition that persists across reboots
When transferring images via SCP, the administrator must copy them directly into/shared/images/so that:
* The GUI (System # Software Management # Available Images) can detect the image
* TMSH install software image commands can reference it
Other directories such as/local/images/or/var/images/are not valid storage paths for software images.
