  To bring a service group online across clusters

The option -clus brings the service group online on the system designated in the cluster. If a system is not specified, the service group is brought online on any node within the cluster. The option -locaclus brings the service group online in the local cluster.

  To bring a service group online "anywhere"

The option -any specifies that HAD brings a failover group online on the optimal system, based on the requirements of service group workload management and existing group dependencies. If bringing a parallel group online, HAD brings the group online on each system designated in the SystemList attribute.

The option -clus takes offline the service group on the system designated in the cluster.

  To take a service group offline "anywhere"

The option -any specifies that HAD takes a failover group offline on the system on which it is online. For a parallel group, HAD takes the group offline on each system on which the group is online. HAD adheres to the existing group dependencies when taking groups offline.

  To switch a service group across clusters

The option -clus identifies the cluster to which the service group will be switched. The service group is brought online on the system specified by the -to system argument. If a system is not specified, the service group may be switched to any node within the specified cluster.

  To switch a service group "anywhere"
