NimbostratusSteps required to upgrade 8900 to 10200 device
Greetings,
There are a number of ways to do this, for example the SCF file which requires some hand editing:K13408: Overview of single configuration files (11.x - 13.x)
https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13408
My preferred method is to:
1) Ensure the devices run the same software version.
2) Run through the setup utility on the new device(s).
3) Put the new and old devices into a device trust / device group.
4) Perform a configSync to push the configuration to the new.
The procedures are detailed here:

https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K15496
Both platforms share up to software version 12.1.2:

Hope this is helpful!

NimbostratusHi Kevin - Thanks for your response.
Currently we are holding a pair of 8900 devices that is running with 12.1.2 HF1. And now we are focussing to bring 10200 devices which needs the same Self IP's and VLAN configuration.
In addition to this, i would like to notify that we have multiple route domain, different Self-IP segment configuration's involved. So i wont be able to add new Self IP's to the new device and bring it to the cluster as this involves new IP assignments and firewalls rules changes.
From the KB Article i understand there is no harm bringing different device models in HA cluster as far we have the same TMOS version.
So please suggest on the suitable method that helps here.
Thanks.
