if { $retries >= 1 } {
log local0. "befor is [LB::server addr]"
LB::reselect pool pol_name
log local0. "after is [LB::server addr]"
}
}
in the above rule I found that the lb server chosen is the same as the one after the reselect action (the VIP has cookie presistance) but I tried to remove the presistance but it has no effect on the behavouir
so I need help here how can I force the selection of other pool members

What is your BIGIP version ?
There was a bug in some version where if you have only two servers it kept selecting the same again.

Load-balancing reselect loops in TMM (CR85186)
In the case of two members in a Local Traffic Manager pool, the iRule command LB::reselect now selects the next pool member if the first pool member is unavailable, which prevents an infinite loop condition.
So an upgrade to this version should fix your issue

also what if the upgrade is not applicable what workaround can be done
