Verifying, Installing, and Loading the EUD Files
After you download the EUD files
There are several actions you can take after you download the EUD files.
Task | Description |
---|---|
Use the MD5 checksum to verify the files | Use the MD5 file to verify the integrity of the file you download. |
Install the EUD from the IM installation package | Use secure copy (scp) to copy the IM file directly to the BIG-IP system and use the IM file to upgrade the EUD on the system. |
Load the EUD onto a USB flash drive | Load the EUD onto a USB flash drive and run the EUD from the flash drive. |
Using the MD5 checksum to check the integrity of the download
You can perform this task after you download update files and their
corresponding .md5 files from the F5®
downloads site (http://downloads.f5.com).
Verify the MD5 checksum on each file you download using the
md5sum command. Use the output to verify the integrity of
the downloaded file.
If the output is OK, the download was successful. If not,
you should download the file again and repeat the process.
Installing the EUD from an IM installation package
You should copy the IM file to /var/tmp on the
system you intend to update before you begin this procedure.
Installing the EUD from an IM file is one method that you can use to get
the latest EUD installed on your hardware.
The latest EUD is installed on your hardware.
Loading the EUD onto a USB flash drive
You can run the EUD by booting the system from a USB flash drive loaded
with the EUD software. Use this procedure to load the EUD onto a USB flash
drive.
After the installation is complete, remove the USB flash drive from the
VIPRION®
system.
