Downgrade from 12.0 to 11.6

Is there a way to downgrade from 12.0 to 11.6HF6 while keeping the configuration that is on the 12.0 partition? I've done plenty of "upgrades" but I guess b/c I'm going from 12 to 11 the F5 complain...

I believe the only supported way to downgrade is to rebuild. One way to help with the rebuild is to merge much of the config from an SCF backup file since the SCF contains almost all of the config items needed to rebuild the entire config. You will most likely still need to restore certificates and keys, but you can do that with a certificate archive from the GUI.
