-
Decompress .ova file.
-
Open .ovf file from decompressed folder.

Change this:

The only differences are addresses for items 1,2 and 4.
- Due to changes in addresses SHA checksums are no longer valid. To get rid of error message delete .mf file from folder with decompressed files.
- Go to Files->Import Appliance and point VirtualBox to .ovf file from decompressed folder. Then import machine.
- Change settings as explained in original post.
- One additional setting change is required: In VM settings->Storage: for BIGIP- -disk1 Change attribute Hard Disk: form Secondary Master to Primary Master
