Db2 Pacemaker - HADR - Adding move option in db2cm utility for HADR

Currently, move option in db2cm utility is only applicable for mutufailover configuration and lookinng for the same option for HADR as well.

This helps to avoid login to standby instance and issuing takeover manually to trigger the move option. Particulary, this would be useful when we have automation w.r.to maintenance activities.

    Hello. Thank you for submitting this Idea. It sounds like you want to move from one host to another when using HADR, as you would do with db2cm -move utility with mutual failover.

    This is possible with the Takeover HADR command.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/12.1.x?topic=commands-takeover-hadr
    TAKEOVER HADR command instructs an HADR standby database to take over as the new HADR primary database for the HADR pair.


    Could you say more about why this capability is insufficient? What do you envision db2cm -move applied to HADR will do differently than TAKEOVER HADR command?


    Thank you for clarifying the request.
