Be aware that persistent sticky location markers are saved and restored in cluster snapshots. You can use the clfindres command to find out if sticky markers are present in a resource group.
If you want to remove sticky location markers while the cluster is down, the default keyword is not a valid method, since it implies activating the resource. Instead, when the cluster is down, you use a transient stop request, as in this example:

8.6 Applying Software Maintenance to an HACMP Cluster
You can install software maintenance, called Program Temporary Fixes (PTFs), to your HACMP cluster while running HACMP for AIX cluster services on cluster nodes; however, you must stop cluster services on the node on which you are applying a PTF. As with everything else in a cluster, applying software fixes should be done in a controlled fashion.
With the method described below, you might even be able to keep your
The normal method of applying AIX fixes is to do the following:
1.Use the smit clstop fastpath to stop cluster services on the node on which the PTF is to be applied. If you would like the resources provided by this node to remain available to users, stop cluster with takeover so that the takeover node will continue to provide these resources to users.
2.Apply the software maintenance to this node using the procedure described in the documentation distributed with the PTF.
3.Run the /usr/sbin/cluster/diag/clverify utility to ensure that no errors exist after installing the PTF. Test the fix as thoroughly as possible.
4.Reboot the node to reload any HACMP for AIX kernel extensions that may have changed as a result of the PTF being applied.
If an update to the cluster.base.client.lib file set has been applied and you are using Cluster Lock Manager or Clinfo API functions, you may need to relink your applications.
