Put management address to rseries

Create vlans, trunks etc on f5os

Create a tenant and assign vlans

Create self ips in new tenant. You can also use self ips from current standby but remember to switch it off before.

Add new tenant to the cluster.

Sync

Failover and test.

Repeat the process for the other node
