Exam F5CAB1 Topic 4 Question 30 Discussion

In BIG-IP, software images are installed onboot volumes(for example, HD1.1, HD1.2, HD1.3, etc.).
To install software on anew volume, the administrator must instruct the system to create a new boot location before installation.
There are two correct ways to create a new volume:
A). tmsh command (with correct syntax)
tmsh install software image /shared/images/BIGIP-<version>.iso volume HD1.5 create-volume This syntax correctly includes:
* install software image
* full path to ISO (/shared/images/...)
* volume name (HD1.5)
* create-volumekeyword
This instructs BIG-IP to create the new boot volume as part of the installation.
C). Using the GUI # System > Disk Management
From the Disk Management menu, the administrator can:
* Select "New Volume"
* Enter the volume identifier (e.g., HD1.5)
* Apply changes
This GUI method is officially supported and explicitly creates a new boot volume before installing the software.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B). Incorrect tmsh syntax
* Missing /shared/images/ path
* Incorrect command structure
D). Incorrect command structure
* Missing required keywords and correct command hierarchy
E). Software Management # Install does NOT create volumes
* This installs to anexistingvolume only
* The GUI install dialog does not create new boot volumes
Thus, onlyOption AandOption Cproperly create a new software volume.
