You need to add the new virtual instances to the server configurations in GTM/BIG-IP DNS that refer to your existing BIG-IP physical instances (this capability isn't available in all versions). Doing this will associate the virtual servers with the new virtual instances. Part of the process of decommissioning your physical instances will be editing the GTM/BIG-IP DNS configuration to remove the physical instances from your server definitions.
