Resources in a parent service group may fail to come online if the AutoStart attribute for the resources is set to zero

This issue occurs with service groups in a parent-child relationship linked with online local firm dependency and when the AutoStart attribute for all the resources of the parent service group is set to 0 (false). The AutoStart attribute of the parent service group is set to 1 (true).

If you take the parent service group resources offline and then switch or fail over the child service group to another node in the cluster, the child service group comes online on the node but the parent service group resources do not come online on that node. (1363503)

The following error is displayed in the parent service group's resource logs:

Workaround: In such a scenario, while taking the parent service group resources offline, use the following command for the last resource:

hagrp -offline service_group -sys system_name -clus cluster_name

Here, service_group is the name of the parent service group.

This action ensures that the parent service group resources come online on the node on which the child service group is switched or failed over.
