The LTM Specialist is in the process of creating a USB boot drive for the purpose of restoring the BIG-IP software to an LTM device. A separate LTM device has been selected for the purpose of creating the USB boot drive. The BIG-IP software ISO has already been uploaded and mounted on the separate LTM device.
Which command should the LTM Specialist use to trigger the LTM device to install the BIG-IP software to the USB boot drive?
To trigger the LTM device to install the BIG-IP software to the USB boot drive, the command required is 'mkdisk'. This command initiates the creation of a bootable USB drive with the BIG-IP software. It is a necessary step after mounting the BIG-IP software ISO and inserting the USB drive.
C - Correct Creating a bootable USB flash drive: 1) Log on to the command line of the system using an account with root access. 2) Mount the BIG-IP installation as a loopback device, using one of these methods: - If you have a BIG-IP system with the BIG-IP ISO image located in the /shared/images directory, mount the ISO image: mount –o loop BIGIP-version.iso /mnt/cd - If you have a DVD drive attached to the BIG-IP system that contains a valid BIG-IP image, insert the DVD into the DVD drive. 3) Insert a 2 GB or larger flash drive into a USB port on the BIG-IP system or Linux workstation. 4) Change to the root directory to the mounted image. cd /mnt/cd 5) Start the mkdisk script. ./mkdisk https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/f5-plat-hw-essentials/2.html
