<html><body> I have a two node cluster, RHEL 5, Protocol version: 5.0.1. Can anyone suggest the best method, and or explain -u and -q fo the clusvcadm command to me? Thanks! Here is what I want to do: 1. Shutdown the services running; DBs, apps whatever... 2. I don't want the services starting on the other node, or anywhere. 3. We don't want any fencing to take place 4. We do our maintenance; Patch server, whatever... 5. Bring the services back up; DBs, apps whatever... Now the only way I have found to do this so far is to disable the service. # clusvcadm -d <service_name> (and maybe that is the only answer) Man pages do not provide much information -u Unlock the cluster's service managers. This allows services to transition again. It will be necessary to re-enable all services in the stopped state if this is run after clushutdown. Also a -q or quiet operation, which I am not finding any information about. # clusvcadm -h Resource Group Control Commands: clusvcadm -v Display version and exit clusvcadm -d <group> Disable <group> clusvcadm -e <group> Enable <group> on the local node clusvcadm -e <group> -F Enable <group> according to failover domain rules clusvcadm -e <group> -m <member> Enable <group> on <member> clusvcadm -r <group> -m <member> Relocate <group> [to <member>] clusvcadm -q Quiet operation clusvcadm -R <group> Restart a group in place. clusvcadm -s <group> Stop <group> Resource Group Locking (for cluster Shutdown / Debugging): clusvcadm -l Lock local resource group manager. This prevents resource groups from starting on the local node. clusvcadm -S Show lock state clusvcadm -u Unlock local resource group manager. This allows resource groups to start on the local node.
