Affected Product(s):
F5OS Velos
Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-A 1.4.0, F5OS-A 1.5.0, F5OS-A 1.5.1
Fixed In:
F5OS-A 1.7.0, F5OS-A 1.5.2
Opened: Apr 20, 2023 Severity: 2-Critical
In F5OS-A versions 1.4.0 and later, the button on the LCD menu that is used to shut down the system, when pressed, does not shutdown the system.
The LCD touchscreen is lacking functionality the user is expecting it to have.
With F5OS-A 1.4.0 or later installed, from the LCD touchscreen, click the System button. Select Shutdown from the menu. Click the Shutdown button at the 'Shutdown the system?' prompt.
In an external terminal, connect to the unit's AOM. Select P for "Power on/off host subsystem", and then 0 for "Turn host subsystem off". Or, if the system is off, 1 for "Turn host subsystem on"
Going into the AOM menu and powering off or powering on the system works as expected and achieves the same thing as using the LCD Shutdown button.
