Multiple health probes on CSM

We have a CSM blade in a 6509, IOS 12.2(18)SXF7, CSM softvare version 4.2(7);

We'd like to create a serverfarm, where servers are checked for several ports and only considered as working when all probes succeed.

Although Cisco docs state that there should be a possibility to associate multiple probes with a serverfarm, I haven't managed to do so.

Here's what I've tried:

probe PING icmp
interval 5
failed 10
receive 4

probe TCP-1234 tcp
interval 10
retries 2
failed 25
port 1234

real PROBE-TEST-R

address 1.2.3.4

serverfarm PROBE-TEST-SF

real name PROBE-TEST-R

health probe PING

health probe TCP-1234

but when trying to add the second probe, I get:

% You must first disassociate from probe PING.

Any ideas, how multiple probes could be implemented?

Configure them as probe under the serverfarm..not health probe.

serverfarm PROBE-TEST-SF

probe PING

probe TCP-1234

thanks, that seems to be what I was looking for.
