OK, so if you are doing all those different kinds of counts multiple times on the same subtable, then your logfiles are very strong evidence that you are running into ID 247874.

 

 

It is very important that you address this! Not only for your iRule, but because if your iRules continue to use the session table then your system's memory usage will grow and grow until that causes it to fail over.

 

 

While I always recommend upgrading to the latest version if you can, nitass is right in that going from v10.x to v11.x is a big step. An easier solution would be to investigate why your BIG-IPs are having trouble establishing their HA connection; it could be due to any number of configuration or networking issues. Contact F5 Support if you can't figure it out on your own.
