Migrate a service instance

You must be a cluster administrator.

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

You cannot select a specific host to migrate to. The system selects the new host automatically. The system blocks the old host from having any new services assigned to it. You can remove a host from the blocked list through the Platform Management Console.

The system also migrates all service instances running on the same host. Migrating service instances takes the service down for a few moments.

You can migrate service instances that have the states Start or Run.

  1. From the System Services page, Monitor Services.

    The Services page displays.

  2. Click the service name that runs the service instance you want to migrate.

    The Service Properties for that service display.

  3. Click Service Instances.

    A list of service instances displays.

  4. For the service instance you want to migrate, click Actions and then select Migrate.

Your service instance is migrated to a new host. Your old host is placed on the blocked list.
