Upgrade BIGIP LTM

Regarding upgrading from 9.3 to 10.2, I believe the real path will be a bit more involved. I recently received new gear with 9.4.6 and was planning on using 10.2.1, but found I could not go directly to 10.2 due to the size of the ISOs. I had to upgrade 10.0 and transition the disk from partitions to volumes, then I could get 10.2.1 uploaded and installed. Now I had the luxury of doing this without the burden of production traffic, so I was in more of a get r done mode and did not have to worry about the nuances of making sure traffic migrated smoothly. Matter of fact the 6800s I have in prod will simply be replaced with 3600s to avoid the risks I perceive with doing that upgrade. The 6800s were shipped with a single partition and a CF configured, thus it would leave me with some exposure and an inability to safely roll back, plus the 6800s are nearing the end of their support cycle and we never used that chassis to it's fullest potential.
