During the virtual business service stop operation, when Veritas Operations Manager discovers any service group that is online on a virtual machine, Veritas Operations Manager will offline that service group, and thereafter, if there are no other service groups configured on the VMware virtual machine, Veritas Operations Manager will offline the virtual machine itself.

Note that the virtual machine stop operation is ignored if other service groups are running on that virtual machine. To enable this virtual machine auto-stop feature, make sure that you have already selected the virtual machine stop option in product_VOM_addon_vbs_short Dependency Configuration Wizard panel. Veritas Operations Manager stops the virtual machine using the specified Virtual Center (vCenter Server). Make sure that VCenter and Veritas Operations Manager is running for the virtual machine to autostop. The option is supported only for the VMware virtual machines.
