upgrading SW-utilities (v10->v11)

We are interested in upgrading 2 model-8900 F5s, from versión 10 to v11. I wonder if there´s available some F5 Software Utility to migrate to configuration files, and to simplify this task.

 

-We suspect v11 IRules syntax changes in comparison to v10-

 

 

Thank you for your help, in advance.

 

Regards.

  • i do not think there is.

     

     

    anyway, if you have test box or virtual edition, you may try to restore v10 ucs to v11. configuration will be converted automatically. if there is any error, it should show up.

    =============

     

    Quetion : what could related to Configuration loading error: high-config-load-failed ? It seem like WebAccelerator class and policy not load properly. Is there any command to fix it ?

     

     

    Thanks
  • Is it relate to provisioning wa?

     

     

    ps. Another question ... what is command "/usr/libexec/bigpipe daol" ?
