1- can i consolidate (relocate) my local and my stretched Big-IP 2000 LTM Clusters into my 2 i7800 using vCMP?
∟ You can so long as they are running the same software version but due to the extreme difference in hardware capability and throughput it would not be ideal to remain in a state where you have mixed hardware servicing traffic. Typically you'll only join old and new hardware together to migrate to the new hardware then decommission the old hardware.
2- do i need to define 2 x vCMP HOSTs in each i7800 or not?
∟ An i7800 can either act as a VCMP host allowing it to have VCMP guests or it can be a dedicated device without guests and running the defined modules (similar to your 2000).
3- how will work HA (ACTIVE/STANDBY) for a GUEST located into 1 x i7800?
∟ Can you clarify your question?
