Jim is correct about the Application Agent - it is very flexible, so use it if you can.
Custom agents case cause support issues - Symantec officially only supports custom agents written by their Professional Services (Consulting) organization. If it is an Application Agent issue, it is going to be supported much better than a custom agent issue. That said, sometimes a custom agent is the way to get something done, and I have found writing custom agents for VCS to be relatively easy. -- John Cronin 678-480-6266 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Senicka Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 11:51 AM To: Fred Butler; Stanley, Jon; veritas-ha@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-ha] Custom Agent If you already have start/stop/monitor, Take a look at the Application Agent in the BARG.

I know you guys don't want to hear this but I write these agents all the time for Sun Cluster and this is my first request to do one for VCS. I already have the start / stop / monitor scripts already created and I just needed the info to incorporate them into the VCS Framework. I will have to write a clean script after I determine if there are things like, shared memory, semaphores or lock files that need to be cleaned up. Jon - "Agent Developers Guide" huh :-)! Next time I will RTFM.... I will also read the document Jim sent me. Thanks again!

If you can provide external scripts to do the online, offline, monitor, and clean functionality, then that's all that you need... > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred > Butler > Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 14:45 > To: veritas-ha@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > Subject: [Veritas-ha] Custom Agent > > Team - I need to write a custom agent in VCS and I need to know what > manual has this information.
