RemoteGroup agent

The RemoteGroup agent establishes dependencies between applications that are configured on different VCS clusters. For example, you configure an Apache resource in a local cluster, and a MySQL resource in a remote cluster. In this example, the Apache resource depends on the MySQL resource. You can use the RemoteGroup agent to establish this dependency between these two resources.

With the RemoteGroup agent, you can monitor or manage a service group that exists in a remote cluster. Some points about configuring the RemoteGroup resource are:

• For each remote service group that you want to monitor or manage, you must configure a corresponding RemoteGroup resource in the local cluster.
• Multiple RemoteGroup resources in a local cluster can manage corresponding multiple remote service groups in different remote clusters.
• You can include the RemoteGroup resource in any kind of resource or service group dependency tree.
• A combination of the state of the local service group and the state of the remote service group determines the state of the RemoteGroup resource.
• Global groups are not supported as remote service groups.

For more information on the functionality of this agent see the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide.
