Re-addressing GTM during hardware migration
Code level 11.4.1 HF2 (not upgrading code, just migrating hw)
I will be migrating off 1600's to 2000S devices for our GTM devices (we have 2 datacenters, 1 GTM per). They are currently on IP space that will not be available when I bring over the UCS file to the 2000S devices. I can handle all the load errors etc, my question is - how do I eliminate downtime? Obviously our GTM's are very important and maintain DNS records for all major applications.
I have the new IP addresses picked out (listeners and under Servers new IP), and my plan was to do 1 GTM at a time - I'm assuming I'll need to do an gtm_add for the devices to grab their new IP's - correct? And during this process will DNS still work? Not sure if anyone has ever done this before, just trying to get some advice to limit any downtime.
Thanks!

Few extra questions:
- Are the VIPs or the answers that the GTMs give out going to remain the same after the move?
- Are you delegating via your LDNS or are queries coming directly to the GTMs?
