Hi Testimony,
first of all you can directly upgrade f5 from 11.6 /12 version to v13 with HF1 that is latest one. secondly it will not affect to your existing network if you will do in standby first then shift traffic and upgrade next one. I have done it recently without any issue.
1) Please what is the advantages of upgrading to 13.0.0 - for this you can download release notes of v13.0.0 (2) Can i upgrade from 12.0.0 to 13.1.0 - yes (3) How can i get the new firmware version - from f5 support portal (4) What are the procedures for upgrading the Big-IP devices especially as in the Active/Standby topology -****.(5) IS the upgrade service effecting? i.e. Would my network be affected while doing the upgrade? (6) What will happen if i choose not to upgrade the device especially after the Dec. expiration date?- no, proper download image, install image on new partition, import hotfix on same partition, install image on new partition and install HF on same new partition, boot appliance in new partition license upgrade should be there otherwise it will affect your upgradation.
Hi Harry,
Are you saying that for me to upgrade from 12.0.0 to 13.0.0 or 13.1.0 i will need another LTM license apart from the current one that am having on my F5 device?
Thanks
