Procedure 3.2. Migrating Resources to Another Node

To migrate the newly created resource to another node in the cluster, you can use either the HA Management Client or the command line.

1. It the command line, use the following command:

   crm_resource -M -r resource_name -H hostname 

   For example, to migrate a resource named ipaddress1 to a cluster node named node2, you would need to enter:

   crm_resource -M -r ipaddress1 -H node2

2. To use the HA Management Client for migration, select the resource you want to migrate in the left pane of the main window and select Resources+Migrate Resource.

3. In the new window, select ipaddress1 as Resource to migrate and select node1 from the To Node drop-down list.
