VCS stop and service group offline quesiton

I have a quick question regarding service group offline. We only want to bring up/down services when we execute hagrp  -online/-offline manually.

 

When VCS shutdown, we don't want to bring up the service offline. I know if we freeze it won't go to offline entry. Do we have any other option? For an exmaple, for only we can disable the autostart. Do we have any thing for offline?

    Hi Mokkan,

    To stop VCS services and leave the service groups running you need to add the "-force" switch to the hastop command.  The only exception to that rule is that the ClusterService group will be stopped.  All other servcie groups will remain online.

     

    Here is the typical command to stop VCS on the local node while leaving the service groups online.

     

       hastop -local -force

     

    To stop VCS on all nodes in the cluster and leave the service groups online run this command.

     

      hastop -all -force

     

    Thank you,

    Wally
