Hi,
First, you can upload your F5 QKview on iHealth and select version of software you are considering upgrading to from the drop-down menu of "Upgrade Advisor" and see the Upgrade Advisor feedback before start you migration.
Then, a config check on all F5 units in order to verify that all bigip.conf are clean/safe before the upgrade :
tmsh load sys config verify
For the migration part of F5 appliance hardware to F5 VE, ask may have a chat with your F5 sales team or and F5 partner to study the best vcpu/memory sizing of your futur VMs.
You can also use the F5 Migration Assistant Tool or play with the UCS archive 'platform-migrate' option to make your UCS backups

Hello,
I would agree with Lidev's response but would also like to add a couple of things. First, unfortunately it looks like v13.x is not supported on the 3900 platform so you may want to choose a different software version to upgrade to. Please see the following article about this.

With that said, we do have another article that should be helpful and covers just about everything related to upgrades. It can be found at the link below.
