All,

 

the case will be opened by our support guys and I'll let you know the ID soon.

 

In the meantime I found some workaround that helped me upgrading my machine.

 

I did I step by step upgrade:

 

from 11.3 HF8 to 11.4.0 --> the "install config" option is still missing but at least the current config is moved to the new boot image

 

from 11.4.0 to 11.5.1 HF3 --> the "install config" option is available and the configuration is moved to the new boot image.

 

For the first step make sure that DB keys "LiveInstall.MoveConfig" and "LiveInstall.SaveConfig" are both set to "enable" (this is the default setting but better check before upgrading. You can find some info here http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/400/sol13438.print.html)
