Service Group view

The Service Group view displays the service groups and their dependencies in a cluster. Use the graph and ScreenTips in this view to monitor, create, and disconnect dependencies. To view the ScreenTips, point to a group icon for information on the type and state of the group on the cluster systems, and the type of dependency between the service groups.

The line between two service groups represents a dependency, or parent-child relationship. In VCS, parent service groups depend on child service groups. A service group can function as a parent and a child.

See About service group dependencies.

The color of the link between service groups indicates different types of dependencies.

• A blue link indicates a soft dependency.
• A red link indicates a firm dependency.
• A green link indicates a hard dependency typically used with VVR in disaster recovery configurations.
