Do anyone has done software upgrade from /to same version ? Kindly help me with you experience on it.
Any precaution ( except saving UCS file on remote device) need to considered ?

No issue encounter so far in BIGIQ 5.2.0. I will recommend below points before upgrading. Its helps me a lot.
1) Generate UCS of both pair & save in laptop/remote location.
2) Generate qkview of both unit & save to laptop/remote location before upgrade, in case support team require to check any thing.
3) Re-activate the BIG-IQ system license. You must do this on both the active and the standby BIG-IQ if they are running in an HA pair.
