Configure Virtual Business Service dependencies - Specify VMs start or stop panel options

Use this panel to configure the start or the stop operations for the virtual machine, which has the service group configured on it. This configuration is supported only for VMware.

Table: Service Group dependencies

Fields

Description

Service Group

The name of the configured service group.

Cluster

The name of the cluster the service group belongs to.

Virtual Machine

The name of virtual machine that is turned on or off as per your selection in VM start and VM stop check boxes.

VM start

Select this check box to switch on the virtual machine if it is off when the virtual business service starts.

After the virtual machine is switched on, the service group is brought online on that virtual machine. If you do not select the check box, during the virtual business service start operation, Veritas Operations Manager searches for other available systems in the service group's system list, and selects the system on which the service group can be brought online.

VM stop

Select this check box to take the service group (configured on the virtual machine) offline before turning off the virtual machine during virtual business service stop operation. The virtual machine stop operation is ignored if other service groups are running on that virtual machine.

If you do not select this check box, during the virtual business service stop operation, only the service group is taken offline; the virtual machine remains on.
