What are your self IPs? When you take a packet capture of the Ping to the nodes, what do you see? Are the nodes configured to respond to icmp? Can you ping them from elsewhere? If you initiate a telnet connection from the bigIP to the nodes, does that work? A packet capture of the above troubleshooting should be illuminating.
