Bug ID 1141293: F5OS will not import system images copied with WinSCP

Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS, Velos(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-A 1.0.1, F5OS-A 1.1.1, F5OS-A 1.2.0, F5OS-C 1.2.2, F5OS-C 1.5.0

Fixed In:
F5OS-C 1.6.0, F5OS-C 1.5.1, F5OS-A 1.4.0

Opened: Aug 23, 2022

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

F5OS will not import system images copied into /var/import/staging/ using WinSCP. The file will be present on the filesystem, but the system will not process and validate them. On older software versions (prior to F5OS-C 1.3.0 and F5OS-A 1.1.0), the image will remain stuck in an "In Queue" state.

Impact

The images cannot be used for F5OS software installs.

Conditions

Importing F5OS system images (F5OS-C controller and chassis partition images and F5OS-A system images) to /var/import/staging/.

Workaround

After importing the images, log in to the F5OS device as root and run touch against the newly-uploaded files. For instance: touch /var/import/staging/F5OS-C-1.4.0-4112.CONTROLLER.iso

Fix Information

F5OS will correctly import system images copied with WinSCP.
