NotifierMngr agent
The NotifierMngr agent starts, stops, and monitors a notifier process, making it
highly available. The notifier process manages the reception of messages from
VCS and Global Cluster Option (GCO) and the delivery of the messages to SNMP
consoles and SMTP servers. VCS can send notification to SNMP console and SMTP
servers.
See the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for a description of types of
events that generate notification.
The agent is represented by the NotifierMngr resource type. Note that only one
instance of the notifier process can run in a cluster. Therefore, a notifier process
cannot run in a parallel service group.
Note: The attributes of the NotifierMngr agent cannot be changed dynamically
using the hares -modify command. Changes made using this command are
effective after notifier is restarted.
