Again why don't you just add one connect profile to test and exclude the most seen issue in the article "K7964: The BIG-IP system may appear to ignore persistence information for Keep-Alive connections" ?

You might be right, Nikoolayy, and indeed the first article mentioned by SaiTeja (K7392) does mention the use of OneConnect in conjunction with universal persistence as a best practice.

It might just be a matter of TMM instance relation to persistence entries - K23202610 gives you an idea of what I'm saying. Unfortunately I don't have field experience with universal persistence and I'm not sure if the behavior is the same on persistence types other than source address.

Maybe adding a bit of logging to the iRule would help understand what's going on.
