Configuring Route Domains in a Redundant Pair

I want to create a lab/test/cert environment on a pair of 3600 LTMs running v10.2. I have done this on a single box before using a separate partition and route domain.

 

 

The 3600 boxes are handling production traffic on the default partition (Common) and route domain (0).

 

 

Do I need to create the new partition, vlans, route domain and self IPs on each box first?

 

 

Once that's done, do I configure the LTM components (pools, Virtual Servers, etc.) in the new partition on the Active Box and sync them over to the Standby Box?

 

 

Does the Config Sync process change because of this setup?

 

 

Thanks in advance.
