Command History
Usage Guidelines The server farm name must match the server farm name specified in a previous module CSM submode
serverfarm command.
The backup server farm can be associated with a policy. A primary server farm must be associated with
that policy to allow the backup server farm to function properly. The backup server farm can have a
different predictor option than the primary server. When the sticky option is used for a policy, then
stickiness can apply to real servers in the backup server farm. Once a connection has been balanced to
a server in the backup server farm, subsequent connections from the same client can be stuck to the same
server even when the real servers in the primary server farm come back to the operational state. You may
allow the sticky attribute when applying the backup server farm to a policy.
primary_serverfarm Character string used to identify the server farm.
backup (Optional) Sets the name of a backup server farm.
backup_serverfarm (Optional) Backup server farm name.
sticky (Optional) Associates the backup server farm with a virtual server.

required to remain as healthy. The outservice value must be lower
than the inservice real_value.
