thanks - no plan to return to 10 need to get ltms and gtms on to 11.

 

yes read that KB - but came across the below - but still think clean is better:-

 

Partitions caused the subsequent upgrade from 10.2.4 to 11.3.0 to fail. I believe v11 is volume-only. It could neither install on partition nor convert the existing partition to volume. Upgrade fails instantly, both via the web interface and using image2disk –format=volumes.

 

SOLUTION: Using image2disk, I applied the 10.2.4 iso image overtop of the existing 10.2.4 install. image2disk –format=volumes BIGIP-10.2.4.577.0.iso This converted disk config from partitions to volumes. Once that conversion completed, then the upgrade to 11.3.0 worked automagically via the web interface.
