To manually relocate a service, in the Admin App:
  1. Select Services.
    The Services page opens, displaying the services and system services.
  2. Select the service that you want to scale or move.
    Configuration information for the service is displayed.
  3. Click Scale, and if the service has more than one type, select the instance type that you want to scale.

The next step depends on whether the service is floating or persistent (non-floating).

  1. If the service is a floating service, you are presented with options for configuring an instance pool. For example:Screen capture of Scale tab for a floating service showing the instance pool
    1. In the box Service Instances, specify the number of instances on which the service should be running at any time.
    2. Configure the instance pool:
      • For the service to run on any instance in the system, select All Available Instances.

        With this option, the service can be restarted on any instance in the instance pool, including instances that were added to the system after the service was configured.

      • For the service to run on a specific set of instances, clear All Available Instances. Then:
        • To remove an instance from the pool, select it from the list Instance Pool, on the left, and then click Remove Instances.
        • To add an instance to the pool, select it from the list Available Instances, on the right, and then click Add Instances.
  2. If the service is a persistent (non-floating) service, you are presented with options for selecting the specific instances that the service should run on. Do one or both of these, then click Next:Screen capture of Scale tab for a persistent service showing the Selected Instances and Available Instances lists
    • To remove the service from the instances it's currently on, select one or more instances from the list Selected Instances, on the left, and then click Remove Instances.
    • To add the service to other instances, select one or more instances from the list Available Instances, on the right, and then click Add Instances.
  3. Click Update.
    The Processes page opens, and the Service Operations tab displays the progress of the service update as "Running." When the update finishes, the service shows "Complete."
After reconfiguration, the service might take a few minutes to appear on the Services page.
