    The answer to my initial question - yes, it is possible to configure DSC with VE v13, at least, using LAB license. But this requires 8 GB of RAM and 4 CPUs per VE. Not sure if this can be performed with Trial or Evaluation licenses as I have no possibility to test this.

Hey Oleksandr

 

What type of license are you using? The free 90-day trial? I saw this problem when we first released our 201 book where one reader experienced the same problem. I could replicate it and when reporting it to F5 I got the following answer:

 

"According to what I'm hearing internally, there should be NO DIFFERENCES between the 90-day, 30-day, and Lab licenses (other than the obvious). Furthermore, I was told that they should all support HA regardless of version. I have informed them that this is not what you are experiencing and asked them to check it out."

 

But I haven't heard anything since then. So if you're using a 90-day trial license and want to lab with HA, I suggest you use version 12 instead.
