Adding (unmatched) Device to Existing HA group
Here's my story sad but true;
I'm adding a NEW Big IP to device group to upgrade all of it. I am ALSO adding VE so I have "options" if I need more memory/Disk for business continuity, and streamline getting to the cloud.
PER this article;

I have;
Configured NTP/Networking info
Forced the two NEW systems off-line.
Added Self IP to SYNC (HA) VLAN (but not floating IP's - I'm gun-shy!)
Configured VLANS the same as the other systems with unique Self IP's on the appropriate portions of my network.
Now I am up to Adding "Device Trusted Member" and it's asking me to verify the certificate HOWEVER - it is DIFFERENT from the first two systems. Should I be copying the certificate to the two new systems (i2850 and VE system) before I continue to make sure they ALL operate on the SAME certificate?
Should they be the same or "gun-it-and-go"
