With intelligent monitoring framework (IMF), VCS supports intelligent resource monitoring in addition to the poll-based monitoring. Poll-based monitoring polls the resources periodically whereas intelligent monitoring performs asynchronous monitoring. You can enable or disable the intelligent resource monitoring functionality of the WebSphere MQ agent.

VCS process and mount-based agents use the Asynchronous Monitoring Framework (AMF) kernel driver that provides asynchronous event notifications to the agents that are enabled for Intelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF).

You can enable the WebSphere MQ agent for IMF, provided the following software versions are installed:

See the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for more information about IMF notification module functions and administering the AMF kernel driver.
