The best solution is to :
- Create an archive on VE
- Configure i2000 with different IP address than VE
- switch i2000 to OFFLINE mode
- Configure VE and hardware with sync and failover network on one self IP
- move Self IP (used for sync) to Allow default on both systems
- add i2000 in VE trust peers --> Master key is synchronized to new peer
- create a device group sync-failover with both systems
- Sync VE to i2000 --> all cluster configuration is synced, including routes, dns, vs, pools
- failover to i2000
- disconnect VE vNICs (to fallback, you can restore archive... it will remove cluster configuration)
- remove VE and i2000 from Device group
- Remove the VE from i2000 device trust
- The i2000 is now in Standalone mode
- move Self IP (used for sync) to Allow None
This solution requires both system to be in same TMOS version, same release Point.
