IPMultiNIC agent

The IPMultiNIC agent manages the virtual IP address that is configured as an alias on one interface of a MultiNICA resource. If the interface faults, the agent works with the MultiNICA resource to fail over to a backup NIC. If multiple service groups have IPMultiNICs associated with the same MultiNICA resource, only one group has the MultiNICA resource. The other groups have Proxy resources pointing to it. You can use this agent for IP addresses on multiple-adapter systems.

The IPMultiNIC and MultiNICA agents supports IPv4 and IPv6.

The ContainerName and ContainerType attributes are deprecated.

This agent is zone-aware. The ContainerOpts resource type attribute for this type has a default value of 0 for RunInContainer and a default value of 1 for PassCInfo. Symantec recommends that you do not change these values. Refer to the Storage Foundation High Availability Virtualization Guide for more information.
