It sounds like you need to save the config running in memory to file. Here is a method from a previous post by Loc and Joe:

 

 

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&view=topic&forumid=1&postid=2655

 

 

System.ConfigSync.save_configuration (SaveMode), where

 

SaveMode = SAVE_HIGH_LEVEL_CONFIG will save the configuration to /config/bigip.conf (similar to "b save")

 

SaveMode = SAVE_BASE_LEVEL_CONFIG will save the configuration to /config/bigip_base.conf (similar to "b base save")

 

 

 

 

So if you've change the high level configuration (VIPs, rules, etc) you could use the SAVE_HIGH_LEVEL_CONFIG method.
