Verifying the installation

Verify your installation by switching online nodes or by shutting down the computer that is currently online. Either process will test that the service group can be smoothly transferred between nodes.

Shutting down a node creates an actual failure, stressing your system, but more truly testing its high availability than by switching nodes. If you do shut down the online computer in your cluster, remember to bring it back up after you have confirmed that the service group successfully failed over to another node.

You must complete the procedure to verify the service group configuration.
