About site aware service group operations
While performing service group operations in a campus cluster, you can provide site-related information. With site awareness, the administrator can fail over a service group to another site in an event of failure at the local site. The feature is supported for the following service group operations:
-
Online
-
Offline
-
Switch
Use the Availability perspective of the Management Server console to specify the site or the system to fail over the selected service group. For example, you can bring a selected service group online on any system of site A, or take a service group offline on all the systems of site B.
You can select single or multiple service groups for these operations. However, note that the site-related operations are applicable only when the selected service groups are configured on the same stretch cluster; service groups from stretch and non-stretch clusters will not be supported. The operation is supported for parallel, failover, and hybrid service groups.
Note: The site-related operation uses the multi-site management feature. It does not use theSystemZonesattribute of Cluster Server (VCS) service group.
