VCS behavior for resources that support the intentional offline functionality

Certain agents can identify when an application has been intentionally shut down outside of VCS control.

For agents that support this functionality, if an administrator intentionally shuts down an application outside of VCS control, VCS does not treat it as a fault. VCS sets the service group state as offline or partial, depending on the state of other resources in the service group.

This feature allows administrators to stop applications without causing a failover. The feature is available for V51 agents.
