NimbostratusAdd/Delete vLAN on vCMP Guest.
Hello,
I have running vCMP guest, if i need to add new vLAN or delete vLAN on vCMP guest do i need to shutdown the vCMP guest before i modify the vLAN or i can modify the vLAN on the vCMP guest directly without poweroff the vCMP Guest?
Thank you

Also, you may not have to change the provisioning of the vCMP guest at all. Simply see about adding it on the vCMP Host... please take a look at the following: https://community.f5.com/discussions/technicalforum/adding-vlan-to-a-vcmp-guest/269639.
CA_ValliI'd say this is the more correct response :) you shouldn't need to unprovision the Guest in order to perform VLAN operations.
You could also create the VLAN on the Guest first, create self-IP objects, and then modify the tenant configuration from the vCMP Host adding the VLAN subscription. As long as the VLAN tags match, it will work (even with different VLAN names, as long as there isn't another VLAN on the Host with same name but different tag).
When you remove VLAN from the Guest, it's a little tricker and you should perform a specific set of operations, since removing it from the Host will remove the VLAN subscription on the Guest but won't delete the network objects, nor the self-IPs. You'll have to do it manually afterwards.Try checking this: https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/vcmp-administration-viprion-13-0-0/2.html

You should shutdown the vCMP guest, setting it to provisioned. Add the VLANs on the vCMP HOST, and then change back to deployed. Then login to vCMP guest and add Self IPs as appropriate.
