CirrostratusF5 upgrades
We are upgrading F5 tenants from 17.1 to 17.5. We have Two R-series pairs at each data center ( ex:main and colo) Within the data center, they are in HA active standby and the 4 are in a GSLB group . Each host has one tenant
During the upgrade process, I disabled GTM Sync on the F5 that is going to be upgraded. Is it recommended?
I plan on having traffic moved to this active box at ex colo from the other data center main, I won't be making any config changes . After the applications move to this side, LTM pools show up on this side and global availability will have the upgraded side up.
just want to make sure, if that is disabled, do we need to leave them disabled and sync them after all the 4 F5s are upgraded?
during this process, can we make changes with the data center on LTM pools?
Thank you

In addition to the information provided by Aswin I would like to add our BIG-IP update and upgrade guide to help you properly plan your upgrade. Also, we do suggest creating a Proactive Case with our support team in case hiccups occur during your upgrade process that require support.
Please make sure when you have the full details needed to update your post and mark as solved.

Hello,
Plan the upgrade like
Disable sync during upgrade → Upgrade all → Verify health → Re-enable → Sync once at the end.
