have you seen persistence record? i do not see it when specifying pool member in irule.

e.g.

 config

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.24.10:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    pool foo
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        qux
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    vs-index 9
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm pool foo
ltm pool foo {
    members {
        200.200.200.101:80 {
            address 200.200.200.101
        }
    }
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  pool foo member 200.200.200.101
  log local0. "pool foo member 200.200.200.101"
  persist source_addr
  log local0. "persist source_addr"
}
}

 irule is executed but no persistence record is created
