Newbie.. upgrading 9.3.1 to 10.0.1

HI Guys, I upgraded the companies spare Big IP LTM 6400 from 9.3.1 to 10.0.1 and currently have 9.3.1 on HD1.1 and 10.0.1 on HD1.3. Changed the hostname on 10.0.1 to match 9.3.1. I backed up 9.3.1 ucs file to restore the config on 10.0.1 which seemed to accept it but unsure if it's fully compatible to patch the F5 into live production. If someone has successfully upgraded from 9.3.1 to 10.0.1 using an existing 9.3.1 ucs let me know what to look out for? The F5 has 1 basic irule and is not using SSL certificates

    i think if config can be loaded, it may be okay. anyway, there are change behavior between 9.3.x and 10.x.x and also new setting ni 10.x.x. so, i think i had better run through all test case.

     

     

    these are some of them.
