Administering Service Groups

  To start a service group and bring its resources online

  To start a service group on a system and bring online only the resources already online on another system

If the service group does not have resources online on the other system, the service group is brought online on the original system and the checkpartial option is ignored.

Note that the checkpartial option is used by the Preonline trigger during failover. When a service group configured with Preonline =1 fails over to another system (system 2), the only resources brought online on system 2 are those that were previously online on system 1 prior to failover.

  To stop a service group and take its resources offline

  To stop a service group only if all resources are probed on the system

  To switch a service group from one system to another

A service group can be switched only if it is fully or partially online. The -switch option is not supported for switching parallel service groups and for switching hybrid service groups across system zones.

  To freeze a service group (disable onlining, offlining, and failover)

The option -persistent enables the freeze to be "remembered" when the cluster is rebooted.

  To unfreeze a service group (reenable onlining, offlining, and failover)

  To enable a service group

A group can be brought online only if it is enabled.

  To disable a service group

A group cannot be brought online or switched if it is disabled.

  To enable all resources in a service group

  To disable all resources in a service group

Agents do not monitor group resources if resources are disabled.

  To clear faulted, non-persistent resources in a service group

Clearing a resource initiates the online process previously blocked while waiting for the resource to become clear.

• If system is specified, all faulted, non-persistent resources are cleared from that system only.
• If system is not specified, the service group is cleared on all systems in the group's SystemList in which at least one non-persistent resource has faulted.

  To clear resources in ADMIN_WAIT state in a service group

See Clearing Resources in the ADMIN_WAIT State for more information.
