Manual Failover on Redhat Cluster4

This document outlines how to shutdown/startup or manually failover a service on a running 2-node cluster:
To manually failover a cluster’s services to the other node:

1) Login to one of the servers

2) Find out which server is running the service: clustat

3) Stop and disable the service: clusvcadm –d service-name

4) Start and enable the service on the other node: clusvcadm –e service-name -m new-node-name

5) Check to see that it worked: clustat (you should now see that it is running on the other server).
