OK, let's back up. You want to set the value of the "description" property of a virtual server associated with an iapp. You can do this with iControl (LocalLB.VirtualServer.set_description) or with TMSH (modify ltm virtual descripton). The problem is that the iapp "owns" these objects, and will not allow a cli script to modify them. The solution is to put the script code inside the iapp implementation, so it runs whenever the iapp runs. Then the iapp controls the objects it is responsible for, and everyone is happy. If you wish to insert a value into the description that the iapp does not have access to, then you will need to set up some method of passing that information in, e.g. have the iapp read the value from a file on disk.
