Hi again,

thanks to Matt's hint I figured it out - it's a serialization issue:

Your convert_rule() should look like this:

ruleSequence = bigip.LocalLB.VirtualServer.typefactory.create('LocalLB.VirtualServer.VirtualServerRuleSequence')

ruleSet = bigip.LocalLB.VirtualServer.typefactory.create('LocalLB.VirtualServer.VirtualServerRule')

ruleSet.rule_name = ruleName

ruleSet.priority = priority

ruleSequence.item = [ruleSet]

return [ruleSequence]

And then execute it like:

bigip.LocalLB.VirtualServer.add_rule(virtual_servers = ['/Common/VS'], rules = [convert_rule(bigip, '/Common/test', '')])
