The BIG-IQ upgrade fails.
Upgrading BIG-IQ hardware.
Install BIG-IQ version 7.1.0.x in a new volume. Select the option to not automatically reboot to the new volume. Mount the new volume using the command: volumeset -f mount {X}. Edit /mnt/X/etc/bigstart/scripts/tokumx as follows: - Add the following line after the existing 'setproperties ${service}' line: waitfor_disk_provisioning ${service} - Replace the existing line 'if [ -f /bin/halid ]; then' with: if false; then Unmount the new volume with the command: volumeset -f umount {X}. Reboot to the new volume.
BIG-IQ hardware upgrades no longer have two different services attempting to perform the disk provisioning.
