Manual: Cluster Server 4.1 Bundled Agents Reference Guide   

Introduction

Bundled agents are VCS processes that manage resources of predefined resource types according to commands received from the VCS engine, had. You install these agents---which are a part of VCS---when you install VCS. A node has one agent per resource type that monitors all resources of that type. For example, a single IP agent manages all IP resources.

When the agent starts, it obtains the necessary configuration information from VCS. The agent then periodically monitors the resources, and updates VCS with the resource status.

Agents typically:

    Checkmark  Bring resources online.

    Checkmark  Take resources offline.

    Checkmark  Monitor resources and report state changes to VCS.


    Note   Note    Refer to the VERITAS Cluster Server 4.1 User's Guide for general information on VCS agents.
