upgrade

Question

Need advice on upgrading 11.2.1(1299)HF12 to a supported version. F5 will soon stop supporting 11.2.1 and we need to upgrade. I wanted to ask the community for some tips on upgrading... we are thinking about 11.6.3 to keep backwards compatibility. Is there a way to test irules and configuration compatibility  before performing the upgrade?&nbsp;
Happy Holidays!&nbsp;

you can create a qkview and upload it to https://ihealth.f5.com&nbsp;
irule may still work... if you have HTTP class configured, it will be converted to Local Traffic Policies.&nbsp;

1st check if you able to go with the target version on your platform https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K9476  
&nbsp;
2d you can use "Upgrade advisor" tool in ihealth system to see if you may get any issue after or before upgrade. This tool does not cover all issue though   
&nbsp;
3d it is not possible to do entire compatibility check. You need to do test upgrade to see how things are going&nbsp;
