Hi Kevin, Thanks for reply. My CS installation is domain-based, i can't say how many domains can be supported by TMOS 11.x, but on my side i checked TMOS 10.x partition concept (access domain) was introduced there (can't say about exact version), so even TMOS rollback will not help me. I'll be looking around what can be done and how to adjust F5 module to support partition model, but as i see it will not be easy task for me. At this moment i screwed my CS installation need to fix it. BTW do you have any information about 3.0.3 release ?
