Disabling Resources and Moving Their Resource Group Into the UNMANAGED State

At times, you must bring a resource group into the UNMANAGED state before you perform an administrative procedure on it. Before you move a resource group into the UNMANAGED state, you must disable all of the resources that are part of the resource group and bring the resource group offline.

See the scrgadm(1M) and scswitch(1M) man pages for additional information.

Perform this procedure from any cluster node.

How to Disable a Resource and Move Its Resource Group Into the UNMANAGED State

When a shared address resource is disabled, the resource might still be able to respond to ping(1M) commands from some hosts. To ensure that a disabled shared address resource cannot respond to ping commands, you must bring the resource's resource group to the UNMANAGED state.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have the following information.

• The name of the resources to be disabled

• The name of the resource group to move into the UNMANAGED state

To determine the resource and resource group names that you need for this procedure, type the following command:

# scrgadm -pv

Steps

1. Become superuser on a cluster member.

2. Disable all resources in the resource group.

   # scswitch -n -j resource-list

   -n

   Disables the resources

   -j resource-list

   Specifies a comma-separated list of the resources in the resource group

   ---

   Note –

   You can specify the resources in resource-list in any order. The scswitch command disables the resources in the order that is required to satisfy dependencies between the resources, regardless of their order in resource-list.

   ---

3. Run the following command to switch the resource group offline.

   # scswitch -F -g resource-group

   -F

   Switches a resource group offline

   -g resource-group

   Specifies the name of the resource group to take offline

4. Move the resource group into the UNMANAGED state.

   # scswitch -u -g resource-group

   -u

   Moves the specified resource group in the UNMANAGED state

   -g resource-group

   Specifies the name of the resource group to move into the UNMANAGED state

5. Verify that the resources are disabled and the resource group is in the UNMANAGED state.

   # scrgadm -pv -g resource-group

Example 2–18 Disabling a Resource and Moving the Resource Group Into the UNMANAGED State

This example shows how to disable the resource (resource-1) and then move the resource group (resource-group-1) into the UNMANAGED state.

# scswitch -n -j resource-1
# scswitch -F -g resource-group-1
# scswitch -u -g resource-group-1
# scrgadm -pv -g resource-group-1
