Hi Franky-frank-reg7 ,
If you want to move your VE to new host , I think you covered all concerns in your inquiry , also you can review this article For more Details :

If you want to migrate the Configuration from VE to another VE in different ESXI host , you must follow the whole process of migrating.
I can share it with you if you need that.
Franky-frank-reg7Yes, can you please share the process for migrating from one VE to another?
Also, I saw the article above previously but it doesn't talk to ARP entries being cleared on the core. Wanted to triple check and confirm if that is required when migrating VE to new host.
Okay Franky-frank-reg7 ,
in the below Article my Accepted Solution to one of F5 users , I explained the process of migration in details :

Read it well and Ask me if you have any concerns.

> For ARP Entries :
I think you Can Clear it as your ARP tables should be updated directly after your migration and testing your services.
> nothing make you worry about , as I think you have the availability to test your services offline after moving your VEs and migrating the Configuration , I mean that your bussiness services should not be impacted.
> Also If your reviewed the KB that I send previously in my first reply and you found that it has not information or concerns about ARP tables so it is not an issue for Migration or moving your VE to anotehr ESXI.
> Let me knwo if you need anything more , Also I would like to know what is the result of your action after migration.
