F5 Software Upgrade

Hi All,

 

I am doing my first ever upgrade on the F5 .. Have couple of doubts which I am sure you all would be able to clear :)

 

So I have a HA pair (01 & 02) and below is which what I have decided;

 

Upgrade 02 (standby) and then force 01 to become standby.. Once done, upgrade 01 (now standby) and post the upgrade make it active.. Once both are upgraded check if they are in sync or not..

 

The doubt which I am having is, when I upgrade the standby and it comes up with the new image, though the unit would show disconnected (version mismatch) but the HA function would still function, right ? I would still be able to force over the active unit to standby, correct ? Please advise.

 

Any other idea / suggestions would be really appreciated

 

Thanks
