shutdown group

[tanislavm]

hi,

i wish a new wonderful year to everybody.

on a node with an service group up if i shutdown the OS with shutdown command,then the service group will be bring offline safely?

normally i should stop the cluster on this node,verify it and then shutdown the machine.

tnx so much.

Hi,

Wish you happy new year too.

Ideally a graceful shutdown will bring the group down successfully. Basis on failover policy it will initiate the failover to other node as well.

If you want better control, yes, I would prefer offline/switching of the groups before initiating the shutdown of server, ensure that group is offline/switched over to other node. Once confirmed with desired results, proceed with shutdown.
