Hi Shaun,
If you can define a separate subnet for management on the VM network it should work fine.
You should be able to administer the LTM VE using a self IP on either the external or internal self IP addresses as long as you configure port lockdown to allow default (or explicitly allow TCP ports 22 and 443. The advantages to using the management port are more relevant for a production implementation. For example if the config doesn't load due to a syntax or license issue, TMM won't start and the switch ports won't be accessible.
