You can first identify the name of your cluster group with this command:<br />
<br />
<b>cluster group</b><br />
<br />
After you identify the name of the group, let's say that it is called 'cluster group'. Then you can move it from one server to another with this command<br />
<br />
<b>cluster group 'cluster group' /move</b>
</div>


You can first identify the name of your cluster group with this command:

cluster group

After you identify the name of the group, let's say that it is called 'cluster group'. Then you can move it from one server to another with this command

cluster group 'cluster group' /move

<div>
In case that you do not have the cluster commands installed for your system, you can also use powershell<br />
<br />
Get the name of the cluster groups:<br />
<b>Get-ClusterGroup</b><br />
<br />
Move the group 'Cluster Group' to the node SERVER2<br />
<b>Move-ClusterGroup &nbsp;–name “Cluster Group” &nbsp; –node:SERVER2</b>
</div>

Get-ClusterGroup

Move the group 'Cluster Group' to the node SERVER2
Move-ClusterGroup  –name “Cluster Group”   –node:SERVER2

If I have 1 DAG stretched across 2 site, so therefore there are 2 IPs for the DAG, one IP for each subnet. What causes the active IP for the DAG to change back and forth. What causes exchange to make either of the IPs active at any given time.
