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.

OPTIONS

checksum
Displays the checksum of the block-device-hotfix.

create-volume

with the prefix MD1.. 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 install

management of the resource. In the case of the 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
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.
