    Thanks, S Blakely. My one concern is that there are other sections in here (e.g. security) that I do not want to merge. Is it possible to strip everything except the LTM portion of that from the bigip.conf file they supply, load that as something like "bigip-tomerge.conf," and then merge from there?

      Yes - I recommend breaking things down into smaller sections, and you need to apply dependencies first.

      profiles

      policies

      nodes

      pools

      virtuals

       

      You still may have issues with things like SSL certificates/keys, and I recommend trying to migrate them manually - you can copy the filestore (using rsync) but I generally don't recommend it, as it is hard to get the filestore and config right
