Which two items demonstrate the creation of a new volume for software images? (Choose two.)
Suggested Answer: A,C Vote an answer
In BIG-IP, software images are installed on boot volumes (for example, HD1.1, HD1.2, HD1.3, etc.).
To install software on a new 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-volume keyword
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.
