VirtualServer:add_profile cannot set a new client protocol profile

The wrinkle I remember here is that the system internally adds a default profile when you delete the last profile on the VS. It sounds like that is what you are experiencing.

 

 

If you have version 11 or later of BIG-IP, you could get around this problem by using a transaction: remove the profiles and add the ones you want, all in the same transaction. (We generally try not to require the use of transactions in the iControl interface, so we try and put in "convenience methods" that do all the stuff you'd put into the transaction, even if those methods are sometime regrettably complex, but we have not yet added replace methods to most of the interfaces in which they'd be appropriate.)
