Thanks! So IIUC, farm provide system Load balancing, while Cluster add the ability of failover, is that right?:-)

I would say the other way around. A cluster is a type of farm.
I see a farm as a set of independent instances. I see a cluster as a set of collaborating instances. You can deploy a non clustered application to a farm whereby you do not have resilience in case of service failure. And you can deploy a clustered application to a farm to increase service resiliency if necessary.

well, Gianny, is a server farm not a type of cluster?

Hi,
It seems to me that farmName would be better than farmingClusterName as there is a clear distinction between a farm and a cluster.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I just noticed there are 2 pairs of clusterName=CLUSTER_NAME in config-substitions.properties. My understanding of them is one for WADI clustering and another for farming.
Can we using different keywords to identify them? ie. farmingClusterName and WADIClusterName or sth. like that.
