The Coordination Point agent reads the details of coordination points from the vxfenconfig -l output and starts monitoring the registrations on them.

Thus, during vxfenswap, when the vxfenmode file is being changed by the user, the Coordination Point agent does not move to FAULTED state but continues monitoring the old set of coordination points.

As long as the changes to vxfenmode file are not committed or the new set of coordination points are not reflected in vxfenconfig -l output, the Coordination Point agent continues monitoring the old set of coordination points it read from vxfenconfig -l output in every monitor cycle.

The status of the Coordination Point agent (either ONLINE or FAULTED) depends upon the accessibility of the coordination points, the registrations on these coordination points, and the fault tolerance value.

When the changes to vxfenmode file are committed and reflected in the vxfenconfig -l output, then the Coordination Point agent reads the new set of coordination points and proceeds to monitor them in its new monitor cycle.
