Move Floating IP to /common partition

Hello. I've inherited a pair of HA devices where all self/floating IPs, save one floating IP, have been created in the /common partition. It isn't absolutely necessary, but my OCD keeps eating at me ...

    I just tested the move on one of my test VE's running 10.2.3

    edit bigip.conf and move your self ip statement eg:

    self 10.1.1.2 {
netmask 255.255.255.0
unit 1
floating enable
vlan SOME-VLAN
allow default
}

    from

    shell write partition MyPartition

    to the Common partition, so insert it under

    shell write partition Common

    and then load the changes

    tmsh load sys config

    make sure you backup before doing this though 😛

    Thanks Ryan. Good to have some verification. Down to my last pair of v10s which is good, but don't have a test area any longer for that version.
