MVPHi rajashree,
you could either use an external system / tool / script to setup/remove pool members via BIG-IP REST API or you could implement a local iCall script which fetches pool member information from an external system (e.g. a simple config file) and then changes the configuration as needed.

Note: On the last F5-Agility I even get into touch with a guy which has extended his BIG-IP to listen to a private Slack channel. If he post some JSON snippets into his channel the F5 will listen to it and implement the JSON embedded configuration changes and then post the result into the channel. So only sky is the limit when it comes to BIG-IP automation... ;-)
