Using image2disk to upgrade 9.4.7 to 10.2

I need to upgrade a pair of 1600s running 9.4.7 in active/stand by mode and have a couple of questions. I chose 10.2 as the latest good release, am happy to use 10.1 if there is good reason to.

 

 

To install 10.2 I have the line:

 

 

image2disk --instslot=HD1.2 --format=partitions BIGIP-10.2.0.1707.0.iso

 

 

1. Am I right in assuming I need to use the 'partitions' option instead of 'volumes' because I need to increase my partition size for 10.2?

 

 

2. Are there any other commands I need to run with image2disk? Unfortunately I'm still in the planning stage so have not been through change control to install image2disk and therefore am unable to view the man pages.

 

 

3. Would someone be kind enough to paste the man pages here?

 

 

Thanks very much.
