Before you add the new GTM, make sure the GTM is running the same code version as the existing GTM (11.5.2) and this should prevent any issues. You don't have to build it from scratch. You should be able to load the newer code version in a new volume within the GTM and copy the configuration over to the newer volume using "cpcfg HD1.x"

 

The idea of running a GTM mesh with different big3d is fraught with risks and if something breaks and if you open up a case with F5, the first thing they will tell you is to make sure the big3d version matches.
