Creating a GTM Pool error

I am trying to add a GTM pool with the following command

create gtm pool a POOL_NAME { members add { DC:/Common/VS_NAME { member-order 0 } } }

It is giving me this error:

01070226:3: Pool Member VS_NAME references a nonexistent Virtual Server

The virtual server does exist.

I have added 40+ other pools with the same command, this is the only one giving me an error.

When I try to create the pool via the GUI this server is not available in the "Virtual Server:" dropdown list.

What could be the issue?

    The syntax would be

    create pool a mypool members add { member myServer:myVs } monitor http

    It creates a GTM A pool with one member myServer:myVs using the Round Robin load balancing method, and default HTTP monitor checks for member availability.

     

    In your case, did you check whether the member(VS_NAME) you're trying to add exists within the server (DC) under the /Common partition?
