Downgrade from BIG-IP 10.2.3 to 9.4.7

I may have found the solution here:

Formatting the file system and installing a base BIG-IP version (10.0.x - 10.2.0)

 

BIG-IP version 10.2.1 onwards

 

image2disk --nosaveconfig --format=volumes

 

 

For example, the ISO image name is BIGIP-10.2.1.297.0.iso, you would use the following syntax:

 

image2disk --nosaveconfig --format=volumes /shared/images/BIGIP-10.2.1.297.0.iso

 

 

 

The current status of the volumes on the unit is:

 

bigpipe software volumes show

 

SOFTWARE - Volumes:

 

+-> SOFTWARE VOLUME HD1.1 Size: default active

 

+-> SOFTWARE VOLUME HD1.2 Size: default inactive

 

+-> SOFTWARE VOLUME HD1.3 Size: default inactive

 

 

 

If that works, I'm guessing the next step would be to:

 

 

* perform an lvscan and expect no output

 

* fix the console if it falls over

 

* scp local-install-9.4.7.320.1.im to /var/tmp/ on the unit

 

* im local-install-9.4.7.320.1.im

 

* manually re-license the unit

 

* configure host name, time zone, etc

 

 

Has anybody tested that 'image2disk --nosaveconfig --format=volumes /shared/images/BIGIP-10.2.1.297.0.iso' command?
