Stopping a virtual business service

When you stop a virtual business service, its associated service groups are taken offline in the specified order. The order in which Veritas Operations Manager takes the service groups offline is the reverse of the start order defined in Veritas Operations Manager for the service groups of the virtual business service.

A parent service group may depend on one or more child service groups. When you stop a virtual business service, the parent service group is taken offline before its child service groups.

The Stop virtual business service operation does a quick pre-validation to verify if all tiers are reachable. This detects the unreachable tiers and prevents the operation from hanging. If the pre-validation check determines that any tier is unreachable, the operation fails and the tier state is correctly marked as UNKNOWN. This is useful in a disaster event in one tier, where you can continue to operate on the remaining tiers with a single click operation.

To perform this task your user group must be assigned:

The permission on host of the tier may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent organization.

To stop a virtual business service

  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Availability or Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • In the Availability perspective, select Data Center > Virtual Business Services in the Availability perspective.

    • In the Server perspective, select Data Center. Expand Applications > Virtual Business Services to locate the required virtual business service.

  3. Right-click on the required virtual business service and select Stop.
  4. On the Stop Virtual Business Service wizard panel, click OK to confirm.

    See Stop Virtual Business Service panel options.

    Note:

    The stop operation does not take the service groups offline, which are shared with other virtual business services and children of such service groups. If you want to override this behavior, and take offline all service groups in the selected virtual business service, select the Offline shared service groups option in the Stop Virtual Business Service wizard panel.
