Hey Pramod! Sorry for the slow response. We had an extended weekend / timeoff for the year end. I'm glad the discovery worked in the end for you. In regards with the post-discovery tasks available in the F5 Management Pack unfortunately we don't have an all-encompassing document describing them. Most of these tasks are very straightforward and perform what their actual name is suggesting (enable/disable pool member, force pool member offline, etc.) and some of these tasks are featured within blog posts and videos published on F5 Dev Central / Vimeo by our team.
I can point you to some of them, but I'm sure you'll find more, if you browse our F5 Management Pack wiki and blog space.
Here are some links and videos you can take a look at, to see various F5 Management Pack tasks in action:
Data orchestration examples (add/remove resources, maintenance mode, fail-over):

Turning on maintenance mode (from David Ruddell's blog on maintenance mode rules: http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/druddell/archive/2010/03/05/maintenance-mode-rules-for-the-f5-networks-management-pack.aspx):
