Normally, you want to stop the service before starting it on another
node; stop on one node followed by start on another node is called a
"relocation" in the context of linux-cluster or Red Hat's products.

If, however, you have a service which is capable of safely relocating
(like a virtual machine), you can implement the "migrate" option.

Note that in order to implement migration, you will need a special kind
of script called a resource agent, which is basically a script with
some XML that will tell the cluster software what it can do and what
its parameters are.
