Hi,

reading this log, it seems the HA connection is a direct cable connected between interfaces 1.4 on each appliances.

Aug 8 10:39:24 F5OA2 info bcm56xxd[8499]: 012c0015:6: Link: 1.4 is DOWN 
Aug 8 10:39:27 F5OA2 err tmm2[15154]: 01340002:3: HA Connection with peer 1.1.1.1:1029 for traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-1 lost.

This interface was unplugged, so both appliances are active:

Aug 8 10:39:27 F5OA2 notice sod[8132]: 010c006d:5: Leaving Standby for Active (best load): NextActive:.

Then, both appliance being active, there are IP address conflict for virtual addresses active on each appliance:
