Field Description
Select the system you want to online service group on: Select the required system to bring the selected service group online.
A parallel service group can fail over to any specific system, all systems in the cluster, or all systems from the selected site.
A hybrid service group can fail over to any specific system, all systems in the cluster, or any system from the selected site.
A failover service group can fail over to any specific system, any system in the cluster, or any system from the selected site.
Force (enforce a takeover if the cluster holding authority is down) Select the check box to enforce that the global service group fails over on another available cluster. If this cluster does not have the required authority to bring the global service group online, the Force option assigns the required authority to that cluster; thereby ensuring successful failover of the global service group. Authority is a persistent service group attribute, and it designates which cluster has the right to bring a global service group online.
Propagate (All of its required child groups are also brought online) Select the check box to bring all child service groups online along with the parent service group.

Select the appropriate option ( Any System or the site name) to bring the service groups online.
Note: For the online operation on multiple service groups, though Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager displays all sites for the selected service groups, it is important to note that some sites may not be applicable to a service group or groups. The online operation will be successful only for those sites which are applicable to the selected service groups. The online operation is ignored for the remaining service groups.
