Hi Testimony,

 

It means there is a feature enabled on the VS that cannot work with CMP or it was manually disabled from the command line. The implication is that multi-threading will not be performed for the Virtual Server traffic. see the link below to know more. K14358

    Review your VS configuration. This is mostly caused by a non-cmp compliant irule. So you might have to rewrite the rule. You could also share the vs config from the command line tmsh list ltm virtual .Run tmsh show ltm virtual . check the cmp state.
