  • Hi,

     

    Firstly it's recommended to upgrade to 12.1.

     

    12.0.0 will be end of support soon.

     

    Then, there is a lot of changes. To see the complete changes and new features, you should have a look at the release note for ltm and asm on 11.5.0, 11.6.0, 12.0.0 and 12.1.0.

     

    Those release notes arz available on askf5.f5.com

      Hi mean directly upgrade to 12.1.0. If you are running 11.6.0 HF4, you can directly upgrade to 12.0.0 HF3. You upload the base image 12.0.0 and the HF3 iso file, then you choose the HF3 directly to be installed on a colume
