Clearing the resources in a service group from the Admin Wait state

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
In the Management Server console, you can clear the resources in a service group from the Admin Wait state. The resources may enter an Admin Wait state in a service group due to any of the following reasons:
  • The offline function did not complete within the expected time.
  • The offline function was ineffective.
  • The online function did not complete within the expected time.
  • The online function was ineffective.
  • The resource was taken offline unexpectedly.
  • The monitor function consistently failed to complete within the expected time.
Before clearing the resources in the admin wait state, it is recommended that you take manual action to solve the problems.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role or the Operator role on the service group or the Availability perspective. The permission on the service group may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization or cluster.
