How to Clear a Start_failed Resource State by Switching Over a Resource Group

Perform this procedure from any cluster node.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the following conditions are met:

• You have the following information:

  • The name of the resource group that you are switching over

  • The name of the node on which to switch over the resource group

• The nodes where the resource group is to be brought online or to remain online are in the cluster.

1. On a cluster member, assume the root role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.
2. Switch the resource group to the new node.

   # clresourcegroup switch [-n nodelist] resource-group

   –n nodelist

   Specifies a comma-separated, ordered list of nodes that can master this resource group. This resource group is switched offline on all of the other nodes.

   This list is optional. If you omit this list, the resource group is switched on all nodes in the resource group's node list.

   resource-group

   Specifies the name of the resource group to switch.

   ---

   Note -  If any resource group that you are switching declares a strong affinity for other resource groups, the attempt to switch might fail or be delegated. For more information, see Distributing Online Resource Groups Among Cluster Nodes.

   ---

3. Verify that the resource group has been switched to the new node and that the Start_failed resource state is cleared.

   # clresourcegroup status

   The output from this command indicates the state of the resource and the resource group that has been switched over.

Example 2-25  Clearing a Start_failed Resource State by Switching Over a Resource Group

This example shows how to clear a Start_failed resource state that has occurred on the rscon resource in the resource-group-1 resource group. The command clears this condition by switching the resource group to the cluster node phys-schost-2.

1. To verify that the resource is in the Start_failed resource state on phys-schost-1, run the following command.

   # clresource status
   
   === Cluster Resources ===
   
   Resource Name       Node Name           Status         Message
   --------------      ----------          -------        -------
   rscon               phys-schost-1       Faulted         Faulted
                       phys-schost-2       Offline         Offline
   
   hastor              phys-schost-1       Online          Online
                       phys-schost-2       Offline         Offline

2. To perform the switch, run the following command.

   # clresourcegroup switch -n phys-schost-2 resource-group-1

3. To verify that the resource group is switched to be online on phys-schost-2 and that the Start_failed resource status is cleared, run the following command.

   # clresource status
   
   === Cluster Resources ===
   
   Resource Name       Node Name           Status          Message
   --------------      ----------          -------         -------
   rscon               phys-schost-1       Offline         Offline
                       phys-schost-2       Online          Online
   
   hastor              phys-schost-1       Online          Online
                       phys-schost-2       Offline         Offline
