Faulting a resource

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

To fault a single service group

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

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

4. Click OK.

To fault one or more resources

2. In the Simulation task panel, click Fault Resources.

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