F5 Migration from common partition to new partition

Hi,

We have two separate F5 boxes in DMZ and Internal . All the configuration in common partition . We are migrating configuration from existing appliances to newly purchased single appliance using partition . Is it fine to go to CLI and switch to partition set the master key and restore configuration from existing appliance . The backup will be taken prior from both appliances ( common partition ) . What is the best approach to migration configuration ?
