Adding the replacement hard drive
After you have replaced the primary hard drive with the spare hard drive,
you can add the replacement hard drive that you received from F5 Networks
to the new system.
To add the replacement hard drive
1. Ensure that the system is properly halted and shut down. For more
information, see Halting the system , on page 10-9.
2. Slide the new hard drive into hard drive bay 2 (see Figure 10.3).
3. Tighten the screw into place by turning it clockwise, using an
appropriate screwdriver if necessary.
The hard drive is connected to the system when you tighten the
screw completely.
4. Power up the system by pressing the Check button on the LCD
panel.
5. Attach the front bezel to the unit by grasping the bezel on either side
using the indentations provided.
Note: Failure to use the indentations could result in pinched
fingers.
6. Create a new spare disk, as described in Creating a spare disk , on
page 10-8.
Creating a spare disk
If you are running version 10.0.1, you can use the sparedisk utility to create
a backup of the primary disk in your system.
Important
F5 Networks recommends that you perform the following backup procedure
when you make changes to your system, especially if you make
configuration changes. This procedure is not intended as a replacement for
a regularly-scheduled backup process. It provides a quick way to get up and
running again if your primary hard drive fails.
To create a spare disk
1. Boot the BIG-IP system into the TMOS maintenance operating
system:
a) Use a console server to log on to the system using the root
account.
b) Type the following command:
