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.

 

Rest process same https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-iq-centralized-mgmt/manuals/product/big-iq-central-mgmt-upgrading-v4-5-v4-6-to-5-1-0/1.html
