Install F5os

Hello everyone, 

for a customer I need to do a migration from F5 ver 17.1.1.4 to F5os.

You need to know that, now, I have only an Esx server where the is installed av F5 Virtual ver.17.1.1.4  and no F5 hardware; so that, is it possible to proceed to do it ?

In order to do it I need to have an F5 hardware ?

Which are steps for doing it ?

Someone could send me indication about how to do it ?

Many thanks in advanced for your time and consideration.

Awating your news.
