    I guess you mean 2GB.. I am running a Virtual machine on version 15, with LTM only and have 4GB provisioned. Try that and let me know..

    Can you try reloading VM instance under VMware work station?

     

    Hope it helps!

    Please try one thing, through cli try to configure Virtual Server using below command under TMSH.

     

    create ltm virtual <vs name> destination <ip:port> pool <pool name> ip-protocol tcp source-address-translation { type automap }

     

    Please check if you are able to create and see it using 'show ltm virtual-address x.x.x.x' under tmsh. If you are able to see, then try to change browser for accessing WebUI.

     

    Hope it helps!

      I tried chrome rather than mozilla , it didnt solve the problem, i also tried the commands you gave me , i logged in as root from my VM and then i typed tmsh and then your command , but this is what it says:

      Syntax Error: "<10.10.10.10:80>" ​contains invalid or ambiguous service 80>

        I removed the <> around the address and now this is what they respond :

        01070088:3: the requested object name (/Common/HTTP_vs> is invalid

    The below command should work to create VS through cli.

     

     create ltm virtual TEST_VS destination 10.10.10.10:80 pool TEST_POOL source-address-translation { TYpe automap }

     

    Can you please confirm image version of VM that you are using?

    Hmmm... Can you confirm how much memory you provisioned for this Virtual machine, and whether LTM is fully licensed and provisioned?
