How to Clear a Start_failed Resource State by Restarting a Resource Group

Perform this procedure from any cluster node.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the following conditions are met:

• You have the following information:

  • The name of the resource group that you are restarting

  • The name of the node on which to restart the resource group

• The nodes where the resource group is to be brought online or to remain online are cluster nodes.

1. On a cluster member, assume the root role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.
2. Restart the resource group.

   # clresourcegroup restart -n node resource-group

   –n node

   Specifies the name of the node on which the resource group is to be restarted. This resource group is switched offline on all of the other nodes.

   resource-group

   Specifies the name of the resource group to restart.

3. Verify that the resource group has been restarted on the new node and that the Start_failed resource state is cleared.

   # clresourcegroup status

   The output from this command indicates the state of the resource and the resource group that has been restarted.

Example 2-26  Clearing a Start_failed Resource State by Restarting a Resource Group

This example shows how to clear a Start_failed resource state that has occurred on the rscon resource in the resource-group-1 resource group. The command clears this condition by restarting the resource group on the cluster node phys-schost-1.

1. Verify that the resource is in the Start_failed resource state on phys-schost-1.

   # clresource status
   
   === Cluster Resources ===
   
   Resource Name       Node Name           Status          Message
   --------------      ----------          -------         -------
   rscon               phys-schost-1       Faulted         Faulted
                       phys-schost-2       Offline         Offline
   
   hastor              phys-schost-1       Online          Online
                       phys-schost-2       Offline         Offline

2. Restart the resource.

   # clresourcegroup restart -n phys-schost-1 –g resource-group-1

3. Verify that the resource group is restarted on phys-schost-1 and that the Start_failed resource status is cleared.

   # clresource status
   
   === Cluster Resources ===
   
   Resource Name       Node Name           Status          Message
   --------------      ----------          -------         -------
   rscon               phys-schost-1       Offline         Offline
   rscon               phys-schost-2       Online          Online
   
   hastor              phys-schost-1       Online          Online
   hastor              phys-schost-2       Offline         Offline
