Having to upgrade from v10 to v11 manually?

Hello everybody,

 

I need to replace an old BIG-IP 1500 platform with a stronger and newer one, and now I’m facing a weird situation: The old one cannot be run with v11, the new one not with v10.

 

Sticking to the askf5 best practice articles, I couldn’t find anything for such a situation. In DevCentral I found the /usr/libexec/bigpipe daol command and gave it a try: Well, I had to delete nearly all of the HA-configuration and a lot of other stuff because of error messages. After that, it proceeded some steps further but then ran into a segmentation fault. :-(

 

So, is there any other way I could do a migration automatically? Converting it manually would be a life’s work…

 

Thank you very much for your contributions!
