Restoring from Archive

I was restoring the UCS onto the same F5 that generated it. There were no firmware upgrades between generation and attempted restore.

The iRule starts like this (the bold bit is what appeared in the restore error):

 
 rule persistence-test { 
    when RULE_INIT { 
 set ::asm_bypass 0 
 set ::cookieName "wibble" 
 set ::paramName "wibble" 
 } 
  
 when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {   
 log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]:[persist lookup source_addr {"172.22.20.221" pool pool-name}], new connection"   
 }   
  
 when LB_SELECTED { 
 log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port] LB persist:[LB::persist], node selected"   
 log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port] LB decision:[LB::server], node selected"   
 } 
    
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
 ... 
 

I suspect that the problem was the [LB::persist] for no other reason than the iRule editor doesn't recognise it properly as a keyword (although it saved and ran fine).

Cheers
