Is there any easy way to remove configurations(VIP, POOL, Pool member, Irule,ssl profile) in LTM?
A note on deleting VS/related configuration objects.
If one uses iApps to create virtual servers (Application Services), it is easy just to delete the iApp application service instance and get rid of related configuration objects, too.
Although the use of iApps will create a number of configuration objects (even for simple http server), managing those in a large configuration is easier and simpler than creating and managing similar services manually.
Typically an iApp creates virtual server and related objects (pools, etc) into its own folder as new object instances, which are not referenced elsewhere. Related objects are thus gathered into same place.
When manually configuring, one easily tends to reuse/reference same configuration objects (like monitors, profiles) in multiple separate and non-related virtual servers, as it is easier than creating new instances .. and eventually this may become a headache on configuration management point of view. For example a change in commonly used profile affects multiple virtual servers and may have unwanted side effects on those. Removing an object may become difficult as it is not clear where it is used..
