Solution	As shown below, the Type option is greyed out. The following error is shown when attempting to change the type in the CLI:  config firewall vip     edit Virtual_Server         set server-type ssl end can not change server-load-balance vip's server-type! This object is being used. object set operator error, -651 discard the setting Command fail. Return code -651 The reason is because the Virtual Server has references. In this example, the Virtual Server is being used in a firewall policy #16. To find the reference in the CLI, run the following command:  diagnose sys cmdb refcnt show firewall.vip.name Virtual_Server entry used in table firewall.policy:policyid '16' entry dstaddr:name 'Virtual_Server' (From VDOM: 'root') To change the Virtual Server Type, remove it from any references.  After removing all the references, the button is not greyed out anymore and it will be possible to change Type.
