@ Brad....For testing I changed the Virtual Server IP and now I am unable to ping even though I can see old IP under Virtual IP Address List. I didn't delete from there. Why any idea?

That's because there are no associated virtual servers with that virtual address anymore. If you go look at that virtual address you will most likely see it disabled with a red diamond on it. That virtual address will not be auto deleted anymore since you changed your virtual server that it was related to. If you would have just deleted that virtual server the virtual address would have been auto deleted as well.
