Is offlining a Service Group the same thing as failing

Hello Guys,

Is offlining a Service Group the same thing as failing
it over?

Thanks,

I have no idea what in the world your talking about. Can you give me a example of what happens when you offline a server, and failing in over as well?

As far as i know, these two are compeletely different things but still i would like you to explain the question. Let me tell you that offline for a Group means the services in that group are currently unavailable to any node in the cluster while failover is compeletely different thing.
