Hi, this isn't an issue with the ARM template, but rather with BIG-IP configuration. I recommend contacting F5 Support.

Also this was created as BYOL from https://github.com/F5Networks/

Unfortunately this was setup with a two demo licenses as a POC.

I have seen similar errors before, usually I've had to examine the offending object in bigip.conf and manually make sure the configs match between BIG-IPs.

I found this article describing the same issue we are having in v13. I have attempted the workaround per the recommendations in the article:

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/releasenotes/related/relnote-supplement-hotfix-12-1-1.html

604011-1 : Sync fails when iRule or policy is in use

Could this bug still exist in v13??

[cxcal2]

I can sync with not problems if I remove the asm policies from the associated VIPs.

Found out this error is an actual bug that did not get fixed in v13.0. Issue is resolved in v12.1

Great, thanks for the update. Closing this issue as it is not specific to ARM templates.
