Taking a resource offline and propagating the state

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
In the Management Server console, you can take a resource and all of its dependents offline. When you take the parent resource offline, the offline state propagates to the child resources. You can bring multiple resources of a service group offline simultaneously.
You cannot perform this task if any of the following conditions exist:
  • The resource does not depend on any other resource
  • The resource does not depend on any other resource
  • The resource is offline
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.
To take a resource offline and propagate the state
  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Availability perspective and selectManage in the left pane.
  2. Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Clusters to locate the cluster.
  3. Expand the cluster, the Service Groups node, the service group, and then the resource type to locate the resource.
  4. Right-click on the required resource and select offline Propagate.
  5. In the Offline Propagate for Resource panel, do the following:
    • To take a resource offline and propagate the offline state to the child resources on a specific system, select the system.
    • To take the resource offline without considering the state of the parent resource, select Ignore parent.
    • Click OK.
  6. In the Result panel, click OK.
