I will cleansing VIP not use in LTM and I found many VIP show:
VIP status offline (enable)
> Pool staus offline (enable) >> 1 member
> member had status offline (disabled by parent)
Could you tell me about : What's mean of "disabled by parent"? and Do I delete VIP not use on F5 LTM?
Thank you.

'Disabled by parent' on a pool member means that the node (the parent) has been administratively disabled (session user-disabled):
ltm node 1.2.3.4 {
address 1.2.3.4
session user-disabled
}
Ltm::Pool: POOL-TEST
Availability : offline
State : enabled
Reason : The children pool member(s) are down
Available Members : 0
| Ltm::Pool Member: 1.2.3.4:80
| Availability : offline
| State : disabled-by-parent
| Reason : Pool member has been marked down by a monitor

"administratively disabled" thats mean Server's admin had shutdown node or close service port on server right?
F5's admin didn't disable member by process on F5?
- When disable member by process on F5: symbol change from red diamond to black diamond symbol.
- But This disabled by parent is grey diamond symbol.
Thank you for your answer.

Administratively disabled means that someone disabled the node on the F5 directly (on the GUI / CLI / programmatically).
When looking at the pool member in the F5 configuration utility (GUI):
The reason why you are seeing a grey diamond symbol as opposed to a black diamond symbol is due to the fact that it was disabled at a node (parent) level.
If it was disabled at a pool member level, then you would have seen a black diamond symbol instead.

This is greatly represented in the network map tool, I suggest you take a look at that as well!
Object tree view is extremely clear and you can easily check dependencies.
