As Mike mentioned, running a load test from the LTM leaves that appliance out of the test, which is not good practice. To a degree it's like load-testing a website by running the test from the web server (which I've seen people do...).

 

Although the open-source version of WebLoad seems to be dead, you should be able to find a copy you can use to run a relatively decent load test.
