   An administrator is troubleshooting a BIG-IP device that booted into an unexpected software version after a reboot.

What is the most likely explanation for the unexpected boot?

   • AThe device booted from HD1.2 because HD1.1 was corrupted.
   • BThe boot location output is incorrect because the device is running from HD1.2.
