NimbostratusSo I managed to get to the root CLI via the AOM and basically the device cannot access the USB ports.

Nimbostratusheh, yeah. v9 to v10 was my least favorite upgrade due to the required re-format. When doing migrations from v9 to v11, I do a few upgrade iterations even though they aren't necessarily required. I usually go v9 to late v9 (which you are already at) to v10.2.4 (was the newest v10 at the time), v10.2.4 to v11.2.1, then v11.2.1 to current. That allows me to iron out smaller sets of configuration compatibility issues at each level rather than a big set of configuration issues at the end. Of course this all depends on the complexity of your configuration...good luck
