Lot of process, module and configuration has added to v12. So, Jumping directly from v10.x to V12.x is very challenging job, in-fact configuration will not load and its not recommendable.

I would advice to go to 10.x to 11.x(

TMOSH
) version and make stable your application and environment. Once all are ok move to V12.x Version.

    You will find lot of documents in Google n devcentral.

     

    There are few thumb rule.

     

    1. Take ucs or scf backup

       

    2. Capture qkview n upload to ihealth.

       

    3. Open F5 support case if you valid contract.

       

    4. Reboot device before upgrade...

       

    All the best.
