During the virtual business service start operation, Veritas Operations Manager discovers any service group which contains only one system in its system list and it is a VMware virtual machine.

One example is product_AppHA_long (single node cluster) service group where the service group's system list has only one virtual machine.

For the above-mentioned scenario, Veritas Operations Manager selects a virtual machine from the service group's system list, and then starts the virtual machine using the VMware vCenter Server that is specified for that virtual machine. Make sure that vCenter and Veritas Operations Manager is running for the VM to autostart. When this service group is successfully set to online, Veritas Operations Manager starts to online other service groups in the virtual business service.
