DiskGroup agent

Brings online, takes offline, and monitors a Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) disk group. This agent uses VxVM commands.

When the value of the StartVolumes and StopVolumes attribute is 1, the DiskGroup agent brings the volumes online and takes them offline during the import and deport operations of the disk group.

When using volume sets, set StartVolumes and StopVolumes attributes of the DiskGroup resource that contains volume set to 1. If a file system is created on the volume set, use a Mount resource to mount the volume set.

The agent protects data integrity by disabling failover when data is being written to a volume in the disk group.
