Flushing service groups
In the Management Server console, you can address resource-related problems if they occur while a service group comes online or goes offline. As a service group comes online or goes offline, the resources in the group also come online or go offline. If the online or the offline operation hangs on a particular resource, flush the service group to clear the Waiting to go online or Waiting to go offline states from its resources. Flushing the service group typically leaves the cluster in a partial state. After you complete this process, resolve the issue with the particular resource and then proceed with bringing the service group online or taking it offline.
Note: The flush operation does not halt the resource operations (such as online or offline) that are already running. If a running operation succeeds after a flush command is executed, the resource state might change depending on the operation.
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.
