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.
- Ensure that you understand the tier model for creating VBSs and the dependencies between resiliency groups.
Navigate
Assets (navigation pane) > Virtual Business Service(s) tab > Manage Multi-Tier Applications
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.
- You can also use the Move to drop down to move the resiliency groups into the tiers.
- To remove a resiliency group from a VBS, drag it back to the resiliency group selection area.
- Add resiliency groups to tiers until you are done.
This is an optional step .Click on the vertical ellipsis next to the resiliency group in the VBS tier. There are two options.
- Select Optional to fine-tune the VBS configuration.
- Select Remove to remove the resiliency group from the tier.
  Click Next.
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.
Use the Enable Manual Intervention panel to enable manual intervention at predefined points during the Migrate and Takeover operations on both the data centers. This is an optional step.
See About manual intervention.
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 Next.
VBS is created successfully. Click Finish.
