Migrating ASC service instances

You can migrate service instances to another host if the current host does not meet requirements or if you need to take that host down for maintenance.

Before you begin

You must be a cluster administrator or have the Services Control permission to migrate service instances.

About this task

When migrating service instances, you cannot select a specific host to migrate the service instances; the system selects the new host automatically. The system migrates all service instances of that service running on the same host and releases the old allocation. Migrating service instances takes the service down for a few moments.

You can migrate service instances that are in the START or RUN states.

Procedure

  1. From the cluster management console, select Application Instances.
  2. Select an application instance.
  3. Click the Services tab, then the service that runs the instance you want to migrate.
  4. Select the Service Instances tab.

    A list of service instances displays.

  5. (Optional) Click Filter Settings to narrow your search.
    • To filter service instances by ID, enter the ID of the service instance in the Instance ID text box and click Find.
    • To filter service instances by state, click the state START or RUN and click Filter.
    One or more service instances that match your criteria displays.
  6. Select one or more of the service instances that you want to migrate and click Migrate.

Results

Your service instance is migrated to a new host.
