Big3d Install on mulitple Redundant F5s

I have two pair of F5 BigIPs, each pair is in a separate data center and in an active/standby config, I am attempting to get GTM configured and not sure of the Big3d install command content. On all of the F5s I have configured two data centers, I have also created two GSLB servers which contain the "Big-IP System (Redundant)" addresses for each of the applicable F5s and assigned them to the applicable data center. When I run the big3d install script, do I add all of the IPs to the command or run the command several times with a single IP each time?

 

From DOC: run gtm big3d_install

 

If my BigIPs are: 10.34.99.5 (active) & 10.34.99.6(standby), 10.53.99.5 (active) & 10.53.99.6(standby), when I run the script should it look like this (running it on 10.34.99.5):

 

run gtm big3d_install 10.34.99.6 10.53.99.5 10.53.99.6

    Little more info.....I changed the IP addresses for my GSLB servers to be the management addresses of the boxes, I was able to successfully run the big3d_install script on all of them and have some success. both of the standby appliances in each pair show both sets of data center servers up, the active appliance in each pair see's it's local data center pair of servers up but not the other data center, it shows "unknown" state.

    I had a couple different problems, one being device certificate issues and the other the self-IPs I am using were set to "allow-none".

    Thanks for letting us know - just seen this but would have suggested you check the port lockdown is set to default.
