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.

    Yes... I am planning to upgrade a hardware appliance and also BIGIP 11.X or later version of operating system.

     

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