Last published : Jun 19, 2026
Use this panel to configure the start or the stop operations for the virtual machine, which has the service group configured on it. This configuration is supported only for VMware.

Table: Service Group dependencies

Fields Description
Service Group The name of the configured service group.
Cluster The name of the cluster the service group
belongs to.
Virtual Machine The name of virtual machine that is turned
on or off as per your selection in VM
start and VM stop check boxes.
VM start Select this check box to switch on the virtual
machine if it is off when the virtual business service starts.
After the virtual machine is
switched on, the service group is brought
online on that virtual machine.
If you do not select the check box, during the
virtual business service start operation,
InfoScale Operations Manager searches for
other available systems in the service
group's system list, and selects the system
on which the service group can be brought
online.
VM stop Select this check box to take the service
group (configured on the virtual machine)
offline before turning off the virtual machine
during virtual business service stop
operation. The virtual machine stop
operation is ignored if other service groups
are running on that virtual machine.
If you do not select this check box, during the
virtual business service stop operation, only
the service group is taken offline; the virtual
machine remains on.
