One common issue to check for...

4. Ensure that both F5 1600 units can ping each other from the high-availability VLAN

What is your Port Lockdown setting (SelfIP)? Make sure it's not 'Allow None'. Preferred configurations for HA VLAN/SelfIPs are 'Allow Default' (the safe bet regardless of BigIP version), or 'Allow Custom' which includes all the ports that HA daemons use (varies across BigIP versions)

Hi Hannes, The "Port Lockdown" settings for the selfIP addresses are set to "Allow Default", and the units can ping each other from the selfIP addresses created for high-availability.
