@ Brad....For testing I changed the Virtual Server IP and now I am unable to ping even though I can see old IP under Virtual IP Address List. I didn't delete from there. Why any idea?

@ Brad. Yes I have checked it shows disabled with red diamond after changing the IP address with new IP. Moreover, I need advise about migration. Actually we are migrating the services from old BIG-IP LTM applinaces to New BIG-IP LTM appliance. We have configured the services (VIP, Pool, Pool Members, Nodes, Monitor & Persistance) on New BIG-IP LTM appliances according to existing Old BIG-IP configuration with test Virtual Servers IP. We have tested the services with New test VS IP's & its works fine. Now we want to move VS IP from old BIG-IP to New BIG-IP without deleting the VS from Old BIG-IP. Could you please advise how we can achieve this ?
