The readme file automatically produced for BIG-IP Engineering Hotfixes contains the following instructions: This hotfix may not be operational without a FULL system restart. To accomplish this, use the command: /usr/bin/full_box_reboot However, the full_box_reboot command is not part of the documented or recommended workflows for current BIG-IP versions.
The instructions in the Engineering Hotfix readme file may be confusing due to inconsistency with documented workflows for installing BIG-IP Engineering Hotfixes.
These instructions are contained in the .readme file that may accompany a BIG-IP Engineering Hotfix provided by F5 to resolve critical issues, under the terms and conditions of the F5 critical issue hotfix policy as described at: https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K4918
After the software installs and boots to the volume with installed software no further reboot is required.
