I use hardwire failover
Did I must disconnect hardwire failover before upgrade ?
and Did I must connect hardwire failover before failover from Old to newly-upgraded unit ?
Or I just disconnect all cable of old unit and connect all cable of newly-upgraded unit (1 minute downtime)?
I don't know what to do with hardwire failover, Please guide me this. Thank you

Can I Just upgrade 9.1.2 >> 9.3.1 >> 9.4.8 >> 10.2.4 ?
yes. there is ucs roll-forward issue when upgrading from 9.1.x to 9.4.x, so you have to go to 9.3.x and then 9.4.x.
Did I must disconnect hardwire failover before upgrade ?
i think you do not need to disconnect serial failover. it should work while upgrading.

teepan123, That's the supported path and no need to disconnet the failover cable - they'll both come up as active if you do. Once upgraded just failover to the upgraded box.
Oh and when you get to the 10.2.4 upgrade you'll need to decide between volumes or partitions too.
Good luck, N

Can I upgrade into 9.1.2/10.2.4 in partition mode?
what affect if I choose this method?
and In my long gone memory
You must
am I wrong? correct me please
08-Sep-2013 00:58
and In my long gone memory
Format 10.2.4 in partition mode
install 9.1.2 in another partition this method didn't work
yes.
You must
Format 10.0.1 in partition mode
install 9.1.2 in another partition
install 10.2.4 in first partition
i understand 10.2.4 cannot fit in 10.0.1 partition.
partitions created using version 9.x or 10.0.x do not accommodate the 10.1.0 and later software
Release Note: BIG-IP LTM version 10.2.4
http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/releasenotes/product/relnote-ltm-10-2-4.html
by the way, since it is ha pair, you can keep 9.1.2 box until you are satisfied. why do you want to have 9.1.2 and 10.2.4 in the same box?
08-Sep-2013 23:41
The reason I want to have 9.1.2 and 10.2.4 in the same box is when 10.2.4 have a problem , we can reboot into the old working 9.1.2 immediately
I have some box that run 10.2.4 and have 9.3.0 in partition mode (Upgrade from 9.3.0) but fortunately I don't know how past member install it.
Can I just upgrade
Or from this http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/10000/600/sol10636.html
ps. Did clean install roll forward configuration?
09-Sep-2013 02:07
i do not think you can install 9.1.2 in 10.1.x or later partition because partition scheme is different (i.e. legacy and standard partition scheme).

Did clean install roll forward configuration?
i do not think so.

Updated
Now I using step install
15-Sep-2013 21:46
Updated again.
I tried install 9.1.2 & 10.2.4 .. it can install in same box but it occur
so forget about 9.1.2 & 10.2.4. I just update into 10.2.4 standalone in Volume (this is easier -_-) and everything work fine except alert.conf and postfix didn't roll forward into new firmware?
