First make sure each device in the Device Group has the following configured correctly,
- Configsync Ip
- Mirroring IP
- Failover Unitcast IP/Multicast IP
Once corrected ensure each device has the other 2 devices listed correctly and as connected under
Device Management ›› Device Trust : Peer List
You may need to delete and redo the Trusts to ensure all three trust each other and see each other as connected.
If you run
show cm device
you should see something like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CentMgmt::Device: f5vm01.test.lab
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hostname f5vm01.test.lab
Mgmt Ip 10.0.0.11

Then setup your traffic groups, one at a time,
show cm traffic-group traffic-group-1 traffic-group-2
should look like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CM::Traffic-Group
Name Device Status Next
Active
-------------------------------------------------------------------
traffic-group-1 f5vm01.test.lab active false
traffic-group-1 f5vm02.test.lab standby false
traffic-group-1 f5vm03.test.lab standby true
traffic-group-2 f5vm01.test.lab standby false
traffic-group-2 f5vm02.test.lab active false
traffic-group-2 f5vm03.test.lab standby true
