Problem Summary: A multigroup operation (start, stop, switchover, and takeover) performs required operations on the protection groups in the multigroup. The multigroup performs such operations in parallel or sequentially depending on the type of operation and the dependencies between the protection groups as specified in the multigroup. If any such protection group operation fails, then the multigroup operation errors out without performing any pending operations. A multigroup operation prints messages indicating when an operation on a protection group starts and when it ends. It also reports any operation failure to the user.
Workaround: Besides the failure messages reported by multigroup operation, check the status of the individual protection groups to see whether the requested operation has been performed. Fix any issues that caused the operation to fail on a protection group. Then, use the geopg command to perform individual protection group operation on such protection groups.
