Upgrade with preserving configuration

Hi All, I have F5 boxes with LTM/ASM configuration, i'm working on upgrading them from 10.2 to 11.4, i updated it successfully but the configuration is lost! i tried to restore it via web and tmsh shell, but it keeps giving me some errors, is there anyway to have successful upgrade while preserving the configuration! since the ASM part is very hard to build again.

    Hey. I'm not familiar with ASM but I'm pretty sure this is still valid;

    You can run the 

    /usr/libexec/bigpipe daol
    command in the Advanced (bash) Shell to attempt to update the configuration again. You can then run 
    tmsh load sys config
    to attempt to load the configuration; this command will provide detailed information on why the configuration can't be loaded. You can then take it from there. Feel free to post back.

    If you're using iRules, there are quite a few changes you need to take into account between v10 and 11.4. Also note that any object in the configuration file that isn't in the default Administrative Partition needs to have it's partition path specified. There's loads more...
