    when upgrading the second device (F5-2) from 11.5.1 >> 11.5.4 , status "devices not synced" appeared on the web management console.

    This is expected, ConfigSync keeps track of changes using a commit ID which is reset when you reload the unit.

    In version 11.5 it's under /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf

    This software version is very old and out of support, you might try to raise a case to F5 but I don't know how much help support can give on EoL versions. 

    Have you considered restoring previous schema 11.4.1, deleting the 11.5.4 disk partition and performing a "clean" image install on another disk partition? If you do plan on restoring it, I'd also suggest to perform a couple integrity checks before attempting to install it again, I'd most likely check for disk usage and for errors in /var/log/liveinstall.log as image is being loaded.
