| 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. | |||||
