Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

To allow for staging of a new environment or to make competitive migrations easier, allow for a check box or other means of creating all virtual address/virtual server/pool member objects in an administratively disabled state to prevent conflicts with similarly IP addressed objects elsewhere in the environment.

Describe the solution you'd like

AS3 has the adminState disable option - allow for a switchable enable/disable box in the FAST template to utilize this option.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Immediately running an imperative tmsh or icontrol script to disable the newly created objects after creation is a potential but still somewhat risky workaround.
