About CSSD agent

The cssd resource is optional. It monitors the Oracle cssd process. The purpose of the cssd resource is to ensure that the dependency of cssd on the OCR and VOTE resources and the PrivNIC (optional) resource are satisfied. If the cssd resource is online and any of its dependencies are brought offline, the machine will reboot. This agent allows this behavior to be avoided since the dependencies will be enforced by VCS.

The cssd resource should use the Application agent. The name of the resource is up to the user. The following are required attributes of the cssd resource:
