About this product

Veritas agents provide high availability for specific resources and applications. Each agent manages resources of a particular type. The Oracle agent, for example, manages Oracle databases. Typically, agents start, stop, and monitor resources and report state changes.

In addition to the database agents provided in this release, other agents are available through an independent Symantec offering called the Veritas Cluster Server Agent Pack. The agent pack includes the currently shipping agents and is re-released quarterly to add new agents that are now under development. Contact your Symantec sales representative for information about application and replication agents included in the agent pack, agents under development, and agents available through Symantec consulting services.
