I Need to make 2 Virtual Appliance in each r4600 F5 Chassis ( 2 of them ) on top of existing Virtual Appliance sbuilt on this chassis.
Can you advise if i am going to make 1 more virtual Appliance within each r4600 chassis what procedure I should follow ?

Hello,
If you mean to have 2 tenants in total it's very simple. Just create the vlans you need if not configured already and create a new tenant. You may also need to upload the required iso. Of course you need to have not used all available resources for 1 tenant.
But if you mean you already have one tenant and you want to deploy two more, then it's not possible.
r4600 supports a total of 2 tenants. Check here https://clouddocs.f5.com/training/community/rseries-training/html/rseries_multitenancy.html
If that's the case then you need to upgrade to r4800 at least.
f5Subrunthanks for quick reply. Injeyan_Kostas
Sorry I was not clear earlier seems.
I need to create a new F5 VM within a Tenant. I already have 1 VM. So new VM and current VM will stay within the same tenant. Idea is new VM will use new vlan and new Interface.
For this purpose I am looking to know how to map a new interface , vlan with a new F5 VM
Also I need Base Registration key as License to be used when I bring the F5 VM and try to activate it right ?

Let's clear some things first
Tenant = VM
So you already have one tenant and you need to create a new one.
You have to create the vlans first in F5OS, also trunk if need it.
Then during tenant creation you can assign which vlans you want to use in this tenant.
As for license, tenants use the license of rseries.

Hello f5Subrun,
If you are needing information about your specific license you can send me a direct message with your base registration key and I can pull license details for you. Alternatively, if you contact support our TSC's are experts in licensing and can review those details as well.
How the rseries is licenses that Injeyan_Kostas has provided is correct in the aspects of only needing to license the device with its base registration key. The only additional license you could add to these would be add-on keys.
Here is a page that includes a brief rSeries system licensing overview that I would suggest for anyone starting out with rseries.
