Fail-over configuration on version 11.1.0

Hi everyone,

 

I have recently updated the ios version on a LTM box to 11.1.0 and I was trying to do a fail-over unit configuration but I see my self totally lost, the fail-over configuration seems to have totally change. Can someone share a document showing how to configure the Fail-over unit in version 11.1.0.

 

 

Regards,

    Configuring the units in fail-over scenario seems like doing a project what is this... this is too much... is it possible that if i am upgrading the units from a previous version of IOS 10.X the newer version 11.1.0 will retain the fail-over configuration or it will loose it any idea over this?????/

    since architecture is changed, i do not think failover configuration from previous version is usable.
