VCS bundles agents to manage a cluster's key resources. The implementation and configuration of bundled agents vary by platform.

For more information about bundled agents, refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide.

The Veritas High Availability Agent Pack gives you access to agents that provide high availability for third-party storage solutions. Contact your Symantec sales representative for information about agents included in the agent pack, agents under development, and agents that are available through Symantec consulting services.

VCS provides a framework that allows for the creation of custom agents. Create agents in situations where the Veritas High Availability Agent Pack, the bundled agents, or the agents for enterprise applications do not meet your needs. You can also request a custom agent through Symantec consulting services.

For more information about the creation of custom agents, refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Agent Developer's Guide.

VCS also provides agents to manage key enterprise applications. Before configuring an enterprise agent with VCS, verify that you have a supported version of the agent.

See Supported VCS agents.
