About recovery plans
You can use recovery plans to enhance active disaster recovery capabilities for the objects in your data center. This automation lets you group multiple Virtual Business Services (VBS) and service groups and run the predefined tasks on these entities in the desired sequence.
You can specify the following tasks in a recovery plan:
-
Start VBS or stop VBS
-
Bring a service group online or take a service group offline
-
Run custom scripts
You can run the custom scripts on the managed hosts that are a part of the recovery plan. You can add multiple such custom scripts to your recovery plan. Every time a script is run, it returns a value. Table: lists the various return values with corresponding platforms and descriptions.

| Return value | Platform | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Windows, Unix/Linux | Script executed successfully when no explicit return code is specified in the script. |
| -1 | Windows | Unable to fork the script. |
| -2 | Windows, Unix/Linux | Script did not complete within the timeout specified. |
| -3 | Unix/Linux | Unable to fork the script. |
A default value of 5 minutes is considered as timeout for any script. This timeout can be configured while running the recovery plan. If the script does not return a value within five minutes or takes more than five minutes to run, then the task is marked as a failure.
Using the InfoScale Operations Manager console, you can create, edit, delete, and run the recovery plans. The InfoScale Operations Manager console provides the progress and the status of a recovery plan.
