    Best practices and recommendations say not to try it. http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/700/sol14727.html

     

    I'm guessing that if you managed to get it to configure, your module running at the host level would trump the resource needs across all the guests. Potentially having one module knock down guests and all other modules.

     

    My recommendation, take the config of the modules you are running now and import them into a VCMP guest after you convert your F5.

     

    Hope this helps, Jason
