Bad luck ;-) starting with 11.6.0, f5 provides a renaming function for objects - see 11.6.0 release notes: Object move and rename (early access) This release provides early access to the feature that enables move/rename of specific BIG-IP object types, such as virtual servers, virtual addresses, pools (implicitly moves pool members), nodes, monitors, profiles, iRules, iApps, device names, self IP addresses, iCall, and folders. Note that this functionality is not provided for VLANs or Partitions.
