Symantec ApplicationHA provides the following key benefits:

• Out of the box integration with VCS.

• Full visibility and control over applications with the ability to start, stop, and monitor applications running inside guest domains.

• High availability of the application as well as the guest domain inside which the application runs.

• Graded application fault-management responses such as:

  • Application restart

  • ApplicationHA-initiated, graceful internal reboot (soft reboot) of a guest domain

  • VCS-initiated, external reboot (hard reboot) of guest domain

  • Failover of the guest domain to another VCS node

• Standardized way to manage applications using a single interface that is integrated with the Veritas Operations Manager (VOM) console.

• Specialized Application Maintenance mode, in which ApplicationHA allows you to intentionally take an application out of its purview for maintenance or troubleshooting.
