When the VCS HAD process becomes active on a system, it automatically starts the appropriate agent processes based on the contents of the configuration files.

A single agent process monitors all resources of the same type on a system.

After the VCS HAD process is active, type the following command at the system prompt to verify that the agent has been started and is running:

    haagent -display <resource_type>

For example, to test the Oracle agent, type:

    haagent -display Oracle

If the Oracle agent is running, the output resembles:

     #Agent      Attribute   Value 
     Oracle      AgentFile 
     Oracle      Faults      0
     Oracle      Running     Yes 
     Oracle      Started     Yes
