Altostratusbigip_device_info errors with - virtual-servers
AltostratusCan you please share your
BIG-IP software version & Ansible Version & Python version
I can see python3.6
bigip_gather_facts has been deprecated /Removed in Ansible version 2.11 (This module has ben removed in version 2.11. [deprecated])
The bigip_facts module relies on SOAP to communicate with the BIG-IP, and has a large amount of code that does not conform to existing F5 standards.
The bigip_device_info module (Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12) is easier to maintain and use. This module was called bigip_device_facts before Ansible 2.9. The usage did not change.
can you provide the output of curling these two APIs

It Seems that the partition is not striped correctly since the regex doesn't match numbers and your partition name may contains numbers. Can you please share the names of the partitions.
