HTTP::host will never match abc.com/sonar, it would only match abc.com You need to use HTTP::host to match the host, and HTTP::uri to match the path.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { (([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "abc.com") and ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/sonar")) {
        HTTP::redirect "https://abc.com/sonar/sessions/new?return_to=%2Fsonar%2F"
    } else {
        HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]
    }

I think that should world. You can also do this with an HTTPClass or policy(depending on your LTM version) instead of an iRule.
