Moving a Resource from One Service Group to another..?

In the VCS Java GUI, you can cut and paste resource between service groups.

From the command line:

cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config
hacf -verify .   # this creates main.cmd
grep "^hares.* burty*" main.cmd > burty.cmd
# check burty.cmd contains resources you want to move and change group name in "hares -add" line to your new group
awk '/^hares -add burty/ {print "hares -delete "$3}' burty.cmd > burty_del.cmd
# check burty_del.cmd contains commands to delete resources
chmod a+x burty*cmd
# Now run cmd files to delete and recreate resources:
burty_del.cmd
burty.cmd

If you run # hastop -all -force, you can bring the cluster down without stopping the application.

At that point, move the resource within the main.cf from one SG to another.

When done, verify the cluster config is consistent (run #hacf -verify . ; from the /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config directory).

Now when you startup the cluster, the resource should be moved without stopping the cluster.

You could also persistently freeze the cluster to ensure nothing changes when the cluster is started.
