The oo-admin-move command moves a gear from one node to another. Note that moving gears requires a rsync_id_rsa private key in the broker host's /etc/openshift/ directory and a matching public key in each node host's /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file as explained in the OpenShift Enterprise Deployment Guide at https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation.
A gear retains its UID when moved, therefore cross-district moves are only allowed when the destination district has the same gear UID available.
Run the oo-admin-move command on the broker host to move a gear from one node to another:
