    You can make this change in VCS online, but obviously you will need to umount filesystem to remount in different mount point.  Procedure is:

    1. Offline resource in VCS using "hares -offline res_name -sys sys_name" or use GUI
    2. Modify MountPoint attribute in VCS using "hares -modify mnt_res_name MountPoint "/var/opt/abcd1" or use GUI
    3. Online resource in VCS using  "hares -online res_name -sys sys_name" or use GUI

Thanks a lot guys!

Just one query.

Can there be an alternate solution like-

1) Stop the cluster services on all the nodes.

2) create the new directory on all the cluster nodes.

3) make the modification in the mount point name in main.cf file.

4) start the cluster.

Would this work?
