Preface

This guide describes the API provided by the VERITAS Cluster Server™ (VCS) agent framework. It explains how to build and test an agent on UNIX platforms.

Each VCS agent manages resources of a particular type within a highly available cluster environment. An agent typically brings resources online, takes resources offline, and monitors resources to determine their state.

For information on VCS4.0, and a brief overview of the features, see VERITAS Cluster Server Release Notes.
