Creating a virtual business service
Using the Veritas Resiliency Platform console, you can create a virtual business service (VBS).
During creation you have the option to fine tune the resiliency groups within the VBS. When a resiliency group has this setting, its state (whether online or offline) does not affect the overall state of the tier.
For example, if you have a non-critical resiliency group within the tier and other resiliency groups in the VBS do not depend on it for start or stop ordering, consider making it optional for the tier state. This would potentially speed up the VBS start or stop operation because other resiliency groups would start or stop without waiting for this resiliency group.
To create a virtual business service
- Prerequisites
Ensure that the required assets have been organized into the appropriate resiliency groups.
Make sure that you understand the tier model for creating VBSs and the dependencies between resiliency groups.
- Navigate
Assets > Virtual Business Services > Manage Multi-Tier Applications
- Create and populate VBS tiers
On the Select Resiliency Groups page, use the Data Center drop-down to select a data center and display its resiliency groups. You can enter text in the Search field to narrow your list.
Select a resiliency group and drag it to the VBS creation area on the right side of the screen. This area represents the first VBS tier. When you start the VBS, this tier starts first.
Alternatively, you can select a resiliency group and then in the drop-down list, select the tier where you want to move the resiliency group.
Do the following to create and populate the VBS tiers:
Click Add Tier to add a tier and the x icon to remove a tier.
You can drag resiliency groups from one tier to another, but you cannot change the order of the tiers.
To remove a resiliency group from a VBS, drag it back to the resiliency group selection area. Alternatively, you can click on the vertical ellipsis next to the resiliency group in the VBS tier and select Remove.
Add resiliency groups to tiers until you are done.
- Do one of the following:
Optionally, fine-tune the VBS configuration. Continue with step 5.
If you have completed the VBS configuration, click Next.
- Click on the vertical ellipsis and select Optional to fine-tune the VBS configuration.
- Review the VBS configuration
On the Plan View page, click Start Order or Stop Order to review the sequence in which tiers start and stop.
Plan View is a read-only page. To make changes, click Back; otherwise, click Next.
- Complete VBS creation.
On the Summary screen, do the following:
Ensure that the resiliency groups are in the proper tiers.
Specify the name and description for the VBS.
Click Submit.
