when we wanted to upgrade BIGIP LTM 10 to 11 version should we change any thing in GTM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, please read this article: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-upgrade-active-standby-11-2-0.html?sr=25267357 If you have a support contract and this is your first time, you might want to ask for F5 support's assistance. The only thing to keep in mind appears to be this: "Assigning a single BIG-IP system to probe a server to gather health and performance data, in version 10.x, is replaced by a Prober pool in version 11.x."

I do have a quick question should we change anything in GTM when we upgrade ltm

Looks like the only thing is what I listed above, Probes become Prober Pools in v11; I'm not sure how you'd deal with this in advance I'm afraid.

nope I am good I will deal it and let you you know........... thanks for the information

OK, good luck. Hope it goes well.

I don't think you are likely to have any issues (unlike v9 to v10) unless you are using APM too. Of course, test thoroughly. Remember, you'll upgrade the standby and use a different volume to the current one so you can roll back very easily. Make sure you have an off-device UCS too.

Can you tell me if you had any issues when the LTM's were upgraded? We have LTM and GTM running V10 and want to upgrade the LTM to 11.3

Unless you have days on hand to reconfigure your boxes, then there is no issue. I have LTM 10.2.3 and tried to upgrade to 11.x four times and the same result every time. It doesn't work. The configuration doesn't carry over and load. Then any external script needs to be reloaded and then once that's done, the entire configuration needs to be re-written from scratch. In addition, all HA configuration needs to be re-thought of and re-written.
