The ManageFaults attribute specifies whether VCS calls the Clean function when a resource faults. ManageFaults is a service group attribute; you can configure each service group to operate as desired.
You can configure the ManageFaults attribute with the following possible values:
If the ManageFaults attribute is set to ALL, VCS calls the Clean function when a resource faults.

VCS calls the resadminwait trigger when a resource enters the ADMIN_WAIT state due to a resource fault if the ManageFaults attribute is set to NONE. You can customize this trigger to provide notification about the fault.
