DESCRIPTION
You can use the block-device-hotfix component to install a block-
device-hotfix onto a volume, or view information about available block-
device-hotfixes.
Use the create-volume option with the block-device-hotfix component to
create new volumes.
Note: You use the slot_id option only for chassis systems and only when
displaying the values for the options of a specific block-device-
hotfix. You do not use the slot_id option when installing or deleting a
block-device-hotfix, because these commands operate on all blades or
the entire system.
EXAMPLES
list block-device-hotfix Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.0-2419.0-HF3.iso
Displays information about the specified block-device-hotfix,
BIGIP-9.6.1-824.0-HF3.im.
list block-device-hotfix */1
Displays information about the all the block-device-hotfixes on the
first slot.
install block-device-hotfix Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.0-2419.0-HF3.iso volume
HD1.1 reboot
Attempts to install the specified block-device-hotfix,
Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.0-2419.0-HF3.iso, onto HD1.1.
Note: If the installation is successful, and you used the reboot
option, as in this example, the machine reboots into the newly
installed block-device-hotfix.

Mirrored volumes are available only on systems that support RAID,
see sys raid.
device-agent
Displays the name of the service which is responsible for managing
the type of block device on which a give hotfix is available.
vcmp-virtual-cdrom is the device-agent which allows VCMP guests to

vcmp-virtual-cdrom device-agent the resource-id is used by the
live installation daemon when requesting that the hypervisor make
hotfixes available before the installation can proceed.
regex

expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular expression])
to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help
