Agents for SFCFS/SFCFS HA

Agents are processes that manage predefined resource types. When an agent is started, it obtains configuration information from the VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS). It then periodically monitors the resources and updates VCS with the resource status. Typically agents:

  • Bring resources online
  • Take resources offline
  • Monitor resources and report any state changes to VCS

VCS bundled agents are part of VCS and are installed when VCS is installed. The cluster functionality agents are add-on resources to VCS for the VERITAS File System and VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM). Cluster functionality agents and resource types are part of the VRTScavf package and are added when you run the cfscluster config command. For more information on VCS agents, see the VERITAS Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide. PDF versions of this guide are located under the /opt/VRTSvcsdc directory.
