There are a few prerequisites/points to note before setting up a SubVS:

  • Real Servers and SubVSs cannot be associated with the same Virtual Service. A SubVS can only be added to a Virtual Service if there are no Real Servers set up on it already. A Real Server can be associated with a SubVS if required.
  • Users with the Virtual Services permission cannot add a SubVS. Users with the Real Server permission can add a SubVS.
  • SubVS functionality is only available on version 7.0-4 or later of the LoadMaster.
  • There cannot be a SubVS of a SubVS.
