iApp error folder already exists error: 01020037:3:

Product BIG-IP Version 11.4.1 Build 635.0 Edition Hotfix HF2 Name BIG-IP 8950S

 

I've been working with iApp's for about the last year and have written a few templates, leveraged for automated builds. The following such command is executed to deploy an iAPP VIP & Pool. This template has been used for 100s of iAPPs, without issue.

 

In this case (which is not unique);

 

• The VMWare orchestrator built an instance on the bigip.
• At some time, the instance was removed.
• Then, the instance was targeted for re-deploy...and fails.

tmsh create /sys application service test.example.com tables add { pool_choices__servers { column-names { addr port } rows { {row{10.37.14.207 11400}}{row{10.37.14.207 11410}}{row{10.37.14.204 11400}}{row{10.37.14.204 11410}} } } } template tomcat_lb variables add { pool_choices__monitor_name { value /Common/mon_msp_traffic_control } vip_choices__addr { value 10.37.10.71 } }

 

error: 01020037:3: The requested folder (/Common/test.example.com.app) already exists.

 

I have parsed the bigip.conf file and can find no existing reference to "test.example.com" I have no idea why its failing, and am hoping someone can provide some feedback.
