You can perform a planned failover of a virtual business service to the DR site to minimize application downtime during planned maintenance of the production site.

1. Verify whether a service group is part of a virtual business service.

   # vbssvc -display

2. Stop the virtual business service on the production site.

   # vbssvc -stop vbs_name

3. View the status of the global service group on the production site and on the DR site.

   # vbssvc -showplan

4. Start the virtual business service at the DR site.

   # vbssvc -start vbs_name
