Why don't you test the new LTM Setup to verify that the application works properly and then execute a DNS Change to gracefully migrate the application from one LTM to the other?

 

 

During the implementation (or prior to it) you could add the new LTM Virtual Server IP Address into the OLD LTM Server Pool and then disable the servers.

Does this make sense?
