NimbostratusIssue with CIS deployment: Virtual Address not assigned to the specified traffic group.
I am facing difficulties when creating a Virtual Server via CIS deployment. The issue arises during the creation of the Virtual Address, as it is automatically associated with the default traffic-group in the Common partition instead of being linked to a newly specified traffic-group.
I have already adjusted the deployment, but when the pod starts in OpenShift, I encounter an error stating that the IP address (422) is already in use.
I have identified that the problem is related to the --route-vserver-addr= object, which assigns the IP to the Virtual Server and consequently creates the Virtual Address. However, when the AS3 declaration is executed, the IP is likely already allocated, leading to a conflict. Additionally, when the Virtual Address is created, it is automatically assigned to the default traffic-group, which is not the intended behavior.
erro:

ok I found some info BIG-IP AS3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
-----
Can I use the same virtual IP address in a BIG-IP AS3 declaration as an existing virtual address on the target BIG-IP?
In versions prior to 3.20, BIG-IP AS3 would create a new virtual IP address for the address specified in the declaration, even if there was an existing virtual IP address.
In version 3.20 and later, if a declaration includes a virtual address that conflicts with an existing virtual-address object in the Common tenant/partition on the target BIG-IP system, BIG-IP AS3 no longer attempts to create a new virtual address and will use the existing address on the BIG-IP.

Maybe as your existing Address is not in common partition you hit this. The only idea I see is to reference existing Service Address but see Unable to reference existing virtual addresses that exist in Common in route domains · Issue #606 · F5Networks/f5-appsvcs-extension and if you have issues also open an issue under the github. Also for the same partition you can try using shared folder as I discussed this under an issue long ago AS3 referencing objects across applications | DevCentral
