INACTIVE_TAKEOVER flag set to false and has not yet started because its 
primary node is down.
In general, however, only rotating resource groups should be migrated in a 
non-sticky manner. Such migrations are one-time events and occur similar to 
normal rotating resource group flavors. After migration, the resource group 
immediately resumes a normal rotating resource group failover policy, but 
from the new location.
8.5.3.2  Locations
You can specify the location for a resource group by entering a node name or 
a keyword.
Node Name
In most cases, you enter a node name in the location field to specify which 
node will contain sticky or non-sticky resource groups. Node names can be 
arbitrary and apply to both rotating and cascading resource group 
configurations.
The DARE Resource Migration utility also provides the following special 
keywords you can use in the location field to determine the placement of 
migrated resource groups: 
default
 and 
stop
. The 
default
 and 
stop
 locations 
are special locations that determine resource group behavior and whether the 
resources can be reacquired.
Default Location
If you use the 
default 
keyword as the location specifier, the DARE Resource 
Migration utility removes all previous stickiness for the resource group and 
returns the resource group to its default failover behavior where node 
priorities apply (for either cascading or rotating resources). The use of a 
default destination for a cascading resource group returns it to its normal 
behavior (the resource group will migrate to the highest priority node currently 
up). Using a default destination for a rotating resource group releases the 
group from wherever it resides and lets the highest priority node with a boot 
address reacquire the resource.
The 
cldare
 command attempts to perform all requested migrations 
simultaneously. If, for some reason, the command cannot simultaneously 
cause all specified resources to be released and cannot simultaneously 
reacquire them at the new locations, it fails, and no migrations occur.
