After you create a Virtual Business Service and define the dependencies among its components in Veritas Operations Manager, you can start or stop the Virtual Business Service from Veritas Operations Manager or from the command line on a host.
It is not mandatory for Veritas Operations Manager to be online for starting or stopping the Virtual Business Service because all inter-cluster communication is handled by the Virtual Business Service components. Any failure or downtime of Veritas Operations Manager Management Server does not affect the Virtual Business Service start or stop operations and these operations can continue through the command line.
