Priority: 4-Minor
Status: New
Impact Category: TMOS

Description

Impact ... The 'mosreboot' results are not temporary, and rebooting from MOS when done causes the system to boot back into MOS again. ... Conditions ... When the 'mosreboot' command is given, the following three actions occur: 1. ... Updates the grub default boot location to point at MOS. ... 2. Reboots. ... 3. Within MOS, updates the grub default to point back at the previous (TMOS) boot location. ... Step 3 does not occur in the following scenario: -- The MOS version is from v15.0.0 or later. -- BIG-IP system is from v14.1.x or earlier. ... Workaround ... Use grub_default, or select a different boot location from the GRUB menu during boot. ... switch_root:/# grub_default -l HD1.3 active no default no title BIG-IP 13.1.1.5 Build 0.0.4 <HD1.3> HD1.4 active no default no title BIG-IP 14.1.2.6 Build 0.0.2 <HD1.4> switch_root:/# grub_default -b HD1.4 info: default boot location changed to HD1.4.
