A switchover is a planned event, versus a failover which is an unplanned event. A switchover can be performed from the LifeKeeper GUI using the In Service option. LifeKeeper will move the resource(s) to whichever node you bring In Service as shown in the diagram below. You may wish to do this, for example, after a failover and you have fixed the primary and you want the primary to take over again.
