Testing service group migration

Verify that the service group can migrate to different hosts in the cluster and across clusters.

To perform the service group migration test

  1. In the Cluster Explorer configuration tree, under the Service Groups tab, right-click the service group.

    Migrate the service group to a host that is attached to the same array.

  2. Click Switch To and click the system that is attached to the same array (hostb) from the menu.

    The service group comes online on hostb and site A remains the workload site with Star protection enabled.

  3. In the Service Groups tab of the Cluster Explorer configuration tree, right-click the service group.

    Migrate the service group to a host that is attached to the array at the sync target site B.

  4. Click Switch To and click the hostc system that is attached to the array at the sync target site B.

    The service group comes online on hostc and sites A and B switch roles. Site A becomes the new sync target and site B becomes the new workload site with Star protection enabled.

  5. In the Service Groups tab of the Cluster Explorer configuration tree, right-click the service group.

    Migrate the service group back to its original host.

  6. Click Switch To and click the system on which the group was initially online (hosta).

    The group comes online on hosta and sites A and B switch roles again. Site A is now the workload site with Star protection enabled and site B is now the sync target.
