During the time when the pools are down, you'd change the 10.0.0.15 to something else and then change 10.0.0.20 in its place

The new VIP does not need to have a pool attached if you are using a maintenance iRule. It will not show Green "Up" status but it will work.

Thanks buulam  - we will try that  -  and also will actually help  us , because being that the primary VIP will display the maintenance page  - we can use the temp vip to access the systems  and test before releasing back to users .  

Thanks again  will let you know ...

    Thank buulam THAT worked !!   Sorry, it took so long our infra F5 team busy on  projects . 

    As far as using the temp  i.p. no test of that yet  BUT  not really not  needed as we can access the servers via IP  to test our  APP. 

    Again thank you  .....  !!!!!!!
