Yes cpcfg is needed to copy the configurations to newly created disk volume from old active volume. Execute the command after installing the new image.
License activation will be first step . So cpcfg needs to be done after installing the new image. Thanks, Senthil
Thanks for your reply but I can't recommendation from F5 support like needs to run this config copy command before upgrade
Here is the recommentation 1. You must run cpcfg command to copy the latest configuration from current volume to new volume before the upgrade, this is needed to copy all the changes which happened on the current volume post the new volume install.

- License re-activation is needed prior installing the new volume. Else the upgrade will fail. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/7000/700/sol7727.html
As I know if any config loss issue then needs to run "cpcfg --source=HD1.2 --reboot HD1.3" with reload.
Are you sure needs to be run this config copy "cpcfg --source=HD1.2 HD1.3" after upgrade ?
