Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS-A, Install/Upgrade
Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-A 1.8.3
Opened: Oct 19, 2025 Severity: 2-Critical
When upgrading from a version before 1.8.2 to version 1.8.2 or later, the system may incorrectly show "Disk Encryption" as unhealthy. This happens because version 1.8.2 and above include new Full Disk Encryption (FDE) files. After the upgrade—but before firmware alignment is complete—the system starts checking for these files. Since the firmware isn’t fully initialized yet, it can't find them and marks the related components as unhealthy. After firmware alignment and a reboot, the files become available, but the system does not update the component status again, so the health remains marked as unhealthy.
System hardware health is incorrectly shown as unhealthy.
Occurs when upgrading from a version earlier than 1.8.2 to version 1.8.2 or later.
The user can reset the component attributes by calling below API as below: docker exec -it diag-agent psf run POST:components/reset component=appliance/hardware/drives/disk-encryption
