failover initiates a manual failover from a logical cluster’s base resources to its failover resources. Failover resources must be set up previously using sp_cluster logical, "add". When initiating a partial-cluster failover, specify a list of base resources that are to fail over, and a list of failover resource to which the base instances will fail over.
For example, you can fail over a portion of a logical cluster to a set of previously configured failover resources. Here, “SalesLC” is running on instances “ase1” and “ase2.” To keep “SalesLC” running on “ase2”, but fail over “ase1” to the previously defined failover resource “ase3”, enter:
sp_cluster logical, "failover", SalesLC, instance, ase1, ase3
In this example, the no wait option has been specified, which, by default, specifies an infinite wait.
