Upgrade migration plan inputs

[vaibhav]

Hello team,

I am planning to upgrade my Viprion guest and hosts. i have devices in various versions of OS but mostly on 12.x codes and 13.x.

My host is running on 13.x code and i am planning to upgrade the devices to block point code looks like the recommended version is 14.x as of now .

As per F5 documentation i can jump directly from 12.x and 13.x code to 14.x without any issues.

Do we have any specifics to consider during this migration like any major changes , example like monitoring strings or any other specific changes that i need to consider. Please let me know.

F5 V13.x & v14.x codes are matured, We don't see issue related to monitoring specific parameters in v14.x. But we recommend to upload the qkview in iHealth before upgrade. It will give clear picture.

Cheers..

 If your target version is 14.1.x, check below article before upgrade and see if it is applicable to you. There are changes in behavior of few HTTP iRule commands.
