A Recovery Plan is an automated set of steps that need to be run when a disaster or contingency arises. The Veritas Operations Manager Virtual Business Services (VBS) Availability Add-on 5.0 enables you to create and store a Recovery Plan, manually run a Recovery Plan, and monitor and log its progress and status.
You can create a Recovery Plan by creating a group of multiple VBS and service groups, and then run predefined tasks on these entities in a desired sequence. You can specify the following tasks in a Recovery Plan:
- Start or stop VBS
- Bring a service group online, or take a service group offline
- Run custom scripts
When you create a Recovery Plan, you can specify whether or not a step is critical. If a task is marked as critical and it fails, then the Recovery Plan execution is stopped and the remaining tasks are not performed.
Using the Veritas Operations Manager console, you can perform the following tasks:
Recovery Plan is not supported on the Management Server, the managed host, or VBS Availability Add-on versions prior to 5.0.
Only domain administrators can create, edit, delete, and run the Recovery Plan. Other non-guest users can run only the Recovery Plan.
