I am having trouble too. I just attempted an upgrade from 10.2.1 to 11.4.1 on a single GTM which is a part of an active-active pair. I first installed 11.4.1 to a new volume, then installed HF2 to the same volume, then booted into that volume.

 

My GTM came back online about 8 minutes later and seemed to working normally, but no objects (WIDEIPs, pools, etc) had carried over. All I had was partitions.

 

iqdump didn't tell me anything useful, big3d_install said everything was current, bigip_add wasn't needed. I spent a few hours messing with this thing before finally giving up. Anyone have any idea what was my issue?

After the reboot, the GTM will log the v11 conversion process in the /var/log/gtm file. It might give you a clue as to why the v11 upgrade was not successful. If the v11 does not like a particular configuration the upgrade might fail.
