About the close entry point

The close entry point is called whenever the Enabled attribute changes from 1 to 0, or when a resource is deleted from the configuration on a running cluster and the state of the resource permits running the close entry point. The open and close entry points are related in the sense that the open entry point creates the environment needed for other entry points, while the close entry points cleans the setup created by open entry point.

See the table below to find out which states of the resource allow running of the close entry point when the resource is deleted on a running cluster. It receives a resource name and ArgList attribute values as input and returns no value. This entry point typically deinitializes the resource if implemented. Most agents do not require this functionality and will not implement this entry point.
