Jack,

 

So the vCMP guest is in production? If so then manually adding the configuration or editing the bigip.conf is your only choice really. Two other ways, UCS import (with no-platform-check no-licence flag) or SCF will overwrite existing configuration.

 

BTW if you edit the bigip.conf and do load sys config then I would advise this was done in a maintenance window as it will cause a brief traffic outage whilst it loads the config...well that's my belief anyway.

 

One other way (probably not supported) would be to create an SCF on both and then merge the changes you need from the 3600 to the vCMP SCF file and load the new SCF on the vCMP guest. Again in a maintenance window but I would ensure you had an archive before doing this. Probably wouldn't recommend this method but it's an option.
