Freezing and unfreezing service groups

Freeze a service group to prevent it from failing over to another system. This freezing process stops all online and offline procedures on the service group.

Unfreeze a frozen service group to perform online or offline operations on the service group.

 To freeze a service group (disable online, offline, and failover operations)

• Type the following command:

  # hagrp -freeze service_group [-persistent]

  The option -persistent enables the freeze to be remembered when the cluster is rebooted.

 To unfreeze a service group (reenable online, offline, and failover operations)

• Type the following command:

  # hagrp -unfreeze service_group [-persistent]
