There is no "begins_with" operator. Use the "starts_with" operator and you should be set!

when HTTP_REQUEST {
 if { [active_members prod_pool] == 0 } {
    pool prod_outagepool }
 if { ( [active_members prod_pool] == 0 ) and ( [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/outage" ) } {
    HTTP::uri /outage }
 elseif { [active_members prod_pool] == 0 } {
    HTTP::uri / }
}

A list of F5 specific operators (in addition to the standard TCL operators) is listed here:
