Potential v10 Compatibility Issue
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Expected behavior - Irule editor should be able to update irules without issue.
Actual Behavior - LTM logs an error message in /var/log/ltm when you make changes to an irule using the Windows client/editor. There is also potential that sometimes 'Save' does not update all irules edited during that session. This has only been partially reproducted in that only the 'highlighted' or 'presently active' irule appears to be saved sometimes in my testing, though it is still something to consider.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Use irule editor to connect to a v10 LTM.
Create irule
Modify that irule, save changes
View the /var/log/ltm file on the unit. It should record the following error: May 27 07:34:48 local/bigipcobaltqeda2 err mcpd[1968]: 01020066:3: The requested rule (DTS-CobaltIGSelection) already exists in partition Common.
Create a second irule.
Save it.
Make changes to both irules.
Hit save.
Potentially only one of the two irules will be updated. <-- this is less common than the logging bit, which always occurs.
