Converting local service groups to global service groups

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
In the Management Server console, you can convert a local service group to global service group.
After connecting the intended global (local) and the intended remote cluster, you must convert the local service group that is common to the remote cluster into a global group.
For each service group on the local cluster that you intend to make global, configure an identical service group on the remote cluster. A service group that is intended to serve as the global group must have the same name on the local cluster and on the remote cluster.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin 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 convert a local service group to a global service group
  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 and then the Service Groups node to locate the service group.
  4. In the service groups list, right-click on the required service groups and select Edit>Make Global/Local.
  5. In the Make Global/Local panel, select the clusters on which you want to make the service group global. Move the selected clusters from the Available Clusters list to theClusters in Priority Order list.
  6. To make the service group global, click OK.
  7. In the Result panel, click OK.
