Move vIP to other cluster
Hello, So I have a 11.5.1 cluster where we are having some problems. We have a fresh 12.1.1 cluster ready to take over some vIPs for testing. I would like to flawlessly move vIPs from the old cluster to the new one. I prefer not to import the configuration to evade corrupt config or duplicate address problems. Current method: Disable ARP on the old Virtual Address & enable this on the new one + wait for the ARP entry to expire on the L3 switches. However, I can never ping the virtual address when enabled on the new cluster. Ideas? The switch sees the new MAC address, but the ping does not reply. (nor when I ping the vIP from the new bigip itself.) To move it back to the old cluster, I disabled ARP on the new cluster and re-enabled it on the old cluster. Then I needed to wait for the ARP entry to expire on the switches.
