NacreousWhy not using the REST API to add the new server to the pool? I guess you are using some automation to setup your servers, right?
POST /mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~<partition-name>~<pool-name>/members
{"name":"node_121:80","address":"10.131.131.121",
"session":"user-disabled","partition":"Common"}
will do the job (using a basic or token based auth)
DELETE /mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~<partition-name>~<pool-name>/members/~<partition-name>~<node-name>:<port>
will remove it, when the server is going to be taken down.
In any case make sure to save the config to the startup config, because the API will modify the running config only.
