Symptoms

With multiple virtual servers that have the same destination address, changing all of them in the GUI to use an address list as their source address will result in the last one changed failing with an error similar to: 01070344:3: Cannot delete referenced virtual address /Common/1.2.3.4.

Impact

Unable to change the source address of a virtual server to an address list.

Conditions

-- More than one virtual server with the same destination address. -- Changing all the virtual servers that share the same destination address to use an address list for their source address.

Workaround

Use TMSH to manually create a traffic-matching criteria object and assign it to the virtual server: tmsh create ltm traffic-matching-criteria <virtual server name>_VS_TMC_OBJ destination-address-inline <destination address of virtual server> destination-port-inline <destination port of virtual server> source-address-inline 0.0.0.0 source-address-list <address list name> } tmsh modify /ltm virtual <virtual server name> traffic-matching-criteria <virtual server name>_VS_TMC_OBJ destination 0.0.0.0:any
