Faulting a service group

Manually simulate a fault on a service group to test failover behavior. This operation is available only when using the cluster simulator.

To fault a single service group

1. In the Cluster:Groups view, in the Groups Listing table, click the linked name of the service group that you want to fault.
2. In the Group:Summary view, in the Simulation task panel, click Fault Service Group.
3. In the Fault Service Group dialog box, select the systems on which you want to fault the service group from the drop-down menu.

   This drop-down menu is populated using the system list of the service group. The system list of a service group contains a list of all systems on which the service group is configured.

4. Click OK.

To fault one or more service groups

1. In the Cluster:Groups view, in the Groups Listing table, check the check box preceding the line item for each service group that you want to fault. Select all service groups by checking the check box at the top.
2. In the Simulation task panel, click Fault Service Groups.

   In the Fault Service Group(s) dialog box, use the appropriate drop-down menu to select the systems on which you want to fault each service group. Each drop-down menu is populated using the system list of each service group. The system list of a service group contains a list of all systems on which the service group is configured.

3. Click OK.
