Datagroup, Pool and iRule are 3 different and independent configuration objects.

 

Pool contains pool members (IP Address & Port combination)

 

iRule to reference a pool and/or a datagroup.

 

Datagroup may contain references to pool or pool members that can be utilized by iRule, if required.

 

This should give information on datagroup as an intro: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-system-irules-concepts-11-6-0/6.html
