Manage Services

As part of scenario creation or modification, you can specify the services to manage. During scenario creation, the services management screens are displayed in the Scenario Creation Wizard. For existing scenarios, you can also manage services from the Arcserve RHA Manager Root Directories tab.

Services discovered on the specified Master server are automatically shown on the Services Discovery Result screen in the Scenario Creation Wizard.

The following steps are for Custom Application scenarios.

To manage services

  1. Select a Service to Monitor. Click the box to the left of each service listed to select it for monitoring.

    Important! Do not use Services Management to monitor every service on the Master server in a single scenario. This scenario type is not designed to protect an entire server.

  2. Click Next to proceed to the Services Setting screen.

  3. In the Start Order column for each service you chose, specify the numeric value representing start order. For services where order does not matter, use the default value, (Not Set). The options available in the drop down list update as you configure the value. The first service has only two options: Not Set and 1. The second service has three options: Not Set, 1 and 2, and so on. If you assign the same start order to two services, Arcserve RHA automatically reorders the selections you already made.
  4. In Replication scenarios, the Critical column is disabled. In HA scenarios, use the Critical column to specify if a service should trigger switchover when it fails. By default, all services are marked Critical. Clear the box for any service whose failure does not require switchover to the stand-by server.
