Using pre-5.0 VCS agents and registering
them as V50

With VCS 5.0, the agent framework has been enhanced. Agents you develop to use this framework are registered as V50 agent. The framework enables you to use pre-5.0 agents and register them as V40 agents. The following sections describe how to use pre-5.0 agents with the VCS 5.0 agent framework.

When you use pre-5.0 agents with VCS, you may register them as V50 agents after making necessary modifications. Making this conversion affords you advantages, which include:

• You can use different versions of an agent on different systems in the cluster.
• You can make changes to the resource type definition used on some systems without affecting how older versions of the agents function
