CirrusF5 rSeries deployment and migration
I used the UCS platform-migrate approach to migrate vCMP guest to rSeries Tenant and it worked perfectly fine as I have all the config. Below is the link.
NacreousI will personally always find it easier to create a new Tenant/VM, add it as node to existing cluster and let it sync.
The only drawback is you need new Self IPs and most probably new Firewall rules.
You can always remove the standby node from the cluster, use it's IPs to the new one and add it to the cluster
CirrusHello Injeyan_Kostas vCMP guests are already in HA and in production. How can we create a new Tenant on a new box and bring it in HA with old one. Don`t you think there would be compatibility issue or it will impact the production?

Hello ndubey2,
Of course you can as far the new tenats run on the same version as your current cluster.
You will need to create first the interface, lags, vlans etc on F5OS level.
Create the tenant, assign the appropriate vlans.
Create self IPs
Add it in the cluster
You could also mark it offline before add it to cluster just to prevent being promoted to active by any chance.
Then during a maintenace window you can failover traffic to new tenant and test.
