Symptoms

If a pool is being referenced as a clone-pool by a policy action, it can be deleted without any validation errors.

Impact

The policy is deleted without error, but the reference to the pool remains. The policy will be referencing a pool that no longer exists. Config sync operations fail, and the configuration does not load.

Conditions

-- LTM policies configured. -- At least one policy action forwards to the pool as a clone-pool. -- No other objects reference the pool. -- The referenced pool is deleted.

Workaround

Manually remove the reference to the pool from the policy action.

Fix Information

Prevented pools from being deleted when they are referenced as clone-pools by policy actions.
