NIC agent

The NIC agent monitors the configured NIC. If a network link fails, or if a problem arises with the NIC, the resource is marked faulted. You can use the agent to make a single IP address on a single adapter highly available or to monitor it. This resource's Operation value is OnOnly.

For the NIC and IP agents, VCS supports EtherChannel.

This agent is compatible with AIX WPARs. The ContainerOpts resource type attribute is not specified for this type. Symantec recommends that you do not change the values for the ContainerOpts keys. Refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for more information.
