Building new F5 replica

I have an F5 in the production environment, and now I have to build another F5 for the Disaster Recovery (DR) environment having the exact same configuration (different mgmt IP and default gateway relevant to DR ). The production F5 is running with multiple VIPs and the same needs to be replicated to DR F5, Can anyone guide how to proceed in building the new DR F5, what files need to be copied, and the certificates to be used in the DR environment. Any help would be highly appreciated.

    You could always use the device sync groups.
    but you can also take the UCS file from the existing enviorment and update the relevant information you need to change
    if you make changes to the UCS file before importing it you will also need the master key for the certificates to work
