Virtual Business Services daemon

An instance of the Virtual Business Services daemon runs on each cluster over which a VBS is configured. This daemon is made highly available using the local high availability solution deployed on that cluster. For VCS clusters nodes, the VBS daemon is configured as a resource called vbsapp inside a service group called ClusterService. For such clusters that are already running a GCO configuration, ClusterService would already be present and is reused.

On non-Arctera clusters (Microsoft Failover Clustering in VBS 6.1 or later), the VBS daemon is made highly available and failover-capable by making it a resource (called vbsapp) inside a resource group or application role called VBSHAService.

You must ensure that the ClusterService or VBSHAService group is not in FAULTED or FAILED state across all nodes of the cluster. Otherwise, VBS does not function correctly.
