Creating recovery plans

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
The Management Server lets you create a recovery plan and view the list of Virtual Business Services, service groups, or custom scripts. You can start or stop Virtual Business Services and bring service groups online or offline. To run a custom script, the name of the custom script and on which host it is run, needs to be specified. You can also specify whether a task is critical or not.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the cluster or the Availability perspective. The permission on the service group may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization or cluster.
If your user group is assigned the Operator or Guest role on the cluster, you can only view the Virtual Business Services in the tree node, but not use them to perform this operation.
