Resolution

In order to rename an online service group, do the following:
 
1. Freeze the service group.
 
# haconf -makerw
# hagrp -freeze -sys -persistent
# haconf-dump -makero
 
2. Stop the cluster with -force option. This will only stop HAD but will keep all the service groups online.
 
# hastop -all -force
 
3. Backup the existing main.cf
 
# cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config
# cp main.cf main.cf.orig
 
4. Change the name of the service group and save the file.
 
# vi main.cf
 
5. Start VCS on the node where you modified the main.cf. Wait a moment before starting the remaining nodes.

# hastart
 
6. Restart the remaining nodes so that they do the REMOTE_BUILD and the main.cf with new service group name is copied over to all the remaining nodes. On each node:
 
# hastart
 
7.  Unfreeze the service group.
 
# haconf -makerw
# hagrp -unfreeze -sys -persistent
# haconf -dump -makero
