Address is incomplete : java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid address (va_test:80). Address is incomplete Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid address (va_test:80). Address is incomplete

Impact

If a Virtual Server uses a virtual address name for the destination rather than an IP, discovery/import will fail.

Conditions

-- A virtual address on a BIG-IP device is defined using a name, not an IP address

Workaround

Use an IP address for a Virtual IP on the BIG-IP rather than a virtual address name.

Fix Information

If a Virtual Server uses a virtual address name for the destination rather than an IP discovery/import will fail. BIG-IQ now supports named destinations on discovery. However, BIG-IQ does not allow changing virtual server destinations to non-IPs.
