Switching service groups

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
Use the Management Server console to switch one or more service groups to a specific system, any system of a selected site, or any available system in the cluster.
Note: The switch operation is not supported for the parallel service groups. It is available only for failover and hybrid service groups with the site option being available only for the failover service groups. Site option is not available for the hybrid service group (for single and collective service groups operations).
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 switch service groups
  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. Under the Service Groups tab, select the required service group. Press Ctrl or Shift for the selection of multiple service groups.
  5. Right-click and select Switch.
See Switch service groups panel options.
  1. In the Result panel, click OK.
