Service group dependencies - on resources and other service groups
In Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager, a cluster contains one or more service groups, and each service group depends on its constituents resources as well as on other service groups. For each service group, you can view the service group's resources, resources dependencies, and dependency of a service group on other service groups. Use the Link option of a service group to establish a service group's relationship with other service groups. However, you can select only those service groups that are part of the same cluster. These are inter-cluster relationships. Similarly, to edit a service group's resources, use the Edit > Resources > Add/Modify Resources option.
If you want to establish service group dependencies across clusters, and perform controlled service group online and offline operations, you can use Virtual Business Services (VBS). It also includes virtual machine auto start and stop options. These virtual machines are managed by VMware vCenter Server. You can add the virtualization servers using Settings > Virtualization.
