Would you consider upgrading a hardware appliance to v11? This way the device will upgrade your config automatically from v10 to v11. You could boot into the new volume and then grab a UCS archive, before reverting back to the v10 volume. You could then build the VE based on this v11 UCS file.

    But in order to get the V11 UCS. Outage required to upgrade from TMOS V10 to V11. Am I right .?
