ReCreate Volume on F5

So I was cruising through the GUI and I wanted to remove an image from the LTM to make more available space and when I clicked delete I apparantly deleted the volume instead of just the image.  Crap!

I wanted to share the steps to put the volume back.. Typically I see HD1.1, HD1.2 and HD1.3 by default but in this scenario I deleted HD1.2 so here are the steps to re-create it

Installing to a new software volume

1. Log in to the tmsh utility as an administrator by typing the following command:

   tmsh

    

2. To verify the current BIG-IQ system software status, type the following command:

   show /sys software
   
   Example command output:
   
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Sys::Software Status
   Volume  Slot  Product  Version    Build  Active                 Status
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   HD1.1      1   BIG-IP   11.5.4  1.0.286      no               complete
   HD1.1      2   BIG-IP   11.5.4  1.0.286      no               complete
   HD1.3      1   BIG-IP   12.1.2  1.0.271     yes               complete
   HD1.3      2   BIG-IP   12.1.2  1.0.271     yes               complete

    

3. To install a new software image or hotfix into a new software volume, use the following command syntax:

   install /sys software <image|hotfix> <ISO> create-volume volume <HDx.y>
   
   Example adding BIGIP-11.5.4.0.0.256.iso to HD1.2
   install /sys software image BIGIP-11.5.4.0.0.256.iso create-volume volume HD1.2
   
   Example, to install the hotfix Hotfix-BIGIP-11.5.4.1.0.286-HF4.iso into a new volume named HD1.2, type the following command:
   install /sys software hotfix Hotfix-BIGIP-11.5.4.1.0.286-HF4.iso create-volume volume HD1.2

    

4. To review the status of the software installation, type the following tmsh command:

   show /sys software

    

5. Optional: When the installation of the new software has completed, you can reboot the system to the new software volume using the following command syntax:

   reboot volume <HDx.y>
     
   For example, to switch the active software volume to HD1.2, type the following command:
   reboot volume HD1.2
