Little time - so I shall be quick.

What PowerHA/HACMP (now System Mirror) monitors - traditionally - is the topology - for failures - and based on what has happened, it makes modifications.

1) Disks are a resource, not topology
2) diskhb network is a NON-IP network, so application service is not dependent on that.
3) HACMP does not respond - out of the box - to resource failures. You need to setup an application and/or event notification to respond to that.

Suppose, rather than both fc - you had said both/all ethernet (i.e., IP connectivity) - the result would be the same - HACMP does not move the resource group. This is because HACMP can see both nodes are operational - but NO nodes (there are only two!) can communicate with other. When no nodes can communicate via IP network HACMP concludes a "Global" network failure, and since no nodes can communicate - it does not matter where the application/service is at - no clients could communicate - so nothing is moved.

The short of it - you need to configure an application monitor that "decides", whether to move or not. A simple way to force a move (one that would work "out of the box" is a so-called panic halt (halt -q). Not really recommended of course, but it does, in an educational/test phase help demonstrate what events HACMP responds to, and what events it does not respond to.

Hope this helps.

HB_TAKEOVER(1)							 General commands						    HB_TAKEOVER(1)

NAME
hb_takeover - issues a failover request to the cluster manager SYNOPSIS
hb_takeover [all|foreign|local|failback] DESCRIPTION
Warning This command is deprecated. It is only suitable for legacy Heartbeat clusters without Pacemaker enabled. In Pacemaker-enabled clusters, the crm(8) shell supports switching individual nodes into standby mode, and replaces hb_takeover. /usr/share/heartbeat/hb_takeover issues a request to the cluster to move resources to the node where it is invoked, from the other node. Issuing hb_takeover on the current node is equivalent to performing hb_standby on the other node. CAVEATS
hb_takeover is only usable in R1-style configurations (i.e., those configured using the haresources file). SEE ALSO
hb_standby(1), heartbeat(8), cl_status(1) AUTHORS
