Clean install the 8900 platform from USB failed

Hi,

 

When I clean install the 8900 platform from USB I’m getting following messages. It couldn’t find and disk but two sata disks are available. How can I recover the appliance with this problem?

  • Hi Mr Umit,

     

    Have you ever resolved that issue. I have a device which is in similar state. Kind regards.

    Hi Sadik,

     

    I couldn't resolve the problem. F5 engineer said it was a hw issue and should RMA.
