v9.3 to v10.2 Upgrade - Tips?

Any tips on upgrading from a 9.3 release to the latest 10.2.3HF1 release for LTM/GTM? It's been awhile but if i recall there was an issue with HTTP monitor functionality being changed from v9 to v10. Just looking for anyone that's been through it and has some suggestions to make my life a little easier. Thanks!

    SMP wrote up a fairly complete doc of the issues he encountered in an article:

    Here is the SOL on the monitor send string change:

    You can also get more info from the LTM and GTM release notes:

    I suggest contacting your F5 or partner SE for help in planning the upgrade.
