V9.2.1 to 10.2.1 active/passive

hello I am using this sol for reverting software 10.2.1 to 9.3.1

 

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/9000/700/sol9745.html

 

 

when I tried to create non LVM partition its give me below error

 

 

image2disk --instslot=HD1.2 --format=partitions BIGIP-10.2.1.297.0.iso

 

 

Terminal error: You cannot specify the target location when using the format option.

 

 

or If I use volume instead target location

 

 

image2disk --format=volumes BIGIP-BIGIP-10.2.1.297.0.iso

 

 

It formate and install 10.2.1

 

 

But for moving back to 9.3.1 ( non LVM )

 

 

I execute im local-install-9.3.1.37.1.im

 

 

receive this message.

 

This system is using logical volumes for disk management,

 

but the media you are using (/shared/images/local-install-9.3.1.37.1.im) does not contain an LVM-aware product.

 

 

If you need to install non LVM-aware products, please refer to SOL9745.

 

 

This system will first need to be reformatted into a partitioned layout.

 

Note that the 'image2disk' utility cannot be used to install releases

 

earlier than 10.0.0 or 9.6.1.

 

 

Any thoughts how can I move back ( reverting ) 10.2.1 to 9.3.1 and then 9.3.1 to 9.2.1 please suggest.

 

 

Thanks
