Cloned service group faults and fails over to another node during DR Wizard execution resulting in errors
After service group cloning is complete, a resource fault may occur in the service group on the secondary site, causing the cloned service group to fault and fail over to the other cluster node. As a result, when the wizard proceeds to the replication Implementation stage, implementation actions may fail because the resource is online on the other node. (1177650)
Workaround: If you discover that the cloned service group has failed over to another node resulting in any failure of the actions shown on the wizard Implementation page, delete the cloned service group completely and run the DR Wizard again.
