@KA, i hade the same issue for 4 Month ago,

 

i tried the Upgrade from 10.2 0 to 11.1. .. if your enverment Activ/standby . it´s easy to do upgrade without DOWntime...

 

i said easy, :) .

 

start with Standby Box First.

2>> if your are trying upgrade disable all your Vlan (on standby Box). and only your managment Port (on your Standby )must /should be Activ.

 

 

best Regards.
