Hi Jason,

 

I don't think it's the right thing to do IT, more I think it's not possible (at least it's not compliant):

 

Check this article: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-concepts-11-5-0/8.html

 

This figure shows an example of an invalid object-referencing configuration, where a virtual server resides in partition Common, but the pool the virtual server references resides in a different partition. In this case, the virtual server cannot successfully forward traffic to the pool that it is referencing...

 

My question is why you don't create pool or vs needed in the common partition? (duplicate your VS from another partition)...

 

keep me update. Regards
