You can migrate resources to different servers in your cluster without waiting for a failure to occur. You might want to migrate resources to lessen the load on a specific server, to free up a server so it can be brought down for scheduled maintenance, or to increase the performance of the resource or application by putting it on a faster machine.
Migrating resources allows you to balance the load and evenly distribute applications among the servers in your cluster.
In ConsoleOne, browse and select the Cluster object that contains the resource you want to migrate.
Resources must be in a running state to be migrated.
Ensure the right half of ConsoleOne displays the Cluster View State by selecting View > Cluster State from the menu at the top of the screen.
In the Cluster Resource List, select the resource you want to migrate.
The Cluster Resource Manager screen appears, displaying the server the selected resource is currently running on, and a list of possible servers to which you can migrate resources.
Select a server from the list and click Migrate to move the resource to the selected server.
NOTE: If you select a resource and click Offline, the resource will be unloaded from the server. It will not load on any other servers in the cluster and will remain unloaded until you load it again. This option is useful for editing resources since resources can't be edited while loaded or running on a server.
