NimbostratusI think that i got it resolve according to the sol12149. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/12000/100/sol12149.html.
After I set the interface type to be VMXNET 3, it works fine to me so far. i have tried it more than 10 times by power cycle from F5 console or vcenter without any issue.

CirrostratusYes, that is the one, but still for me vNIC to port connections was anly changing (not always) when adding/removing vNIC. When there is no change I never experienced any issues when rebooting or shutting down VM.
One think in the SOL that was not true for my VM is that management interface has to use Flexible adapter type (at least for 1.6.0 VE it is not the case). All my vNIC are VMXNET 3.
I had issues with 1.2.0 where management has to be E1000
