the agent is configured.
mark keys for replication or exclusion dynamically, even when the resource
is online.
When the Registry Replication agent is started, it forks an independent process
to monitor registry changes. Even if the VCS engine, HAD, dies, the process
continues logging registry changes to the shared disk.
If you wish to replicate the registry of an application running on a node outside
VCS, run the utility VCSRegUtil on that particular node.
See the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for more information on
VCSRegUtil utility.
Note: The Registry Replication agent runs in the context of the local system user
while the HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU) hive has values in the context of the current
user. As the local system user account does not map to a current user account,
the Registry Replication agent does not replicate the keys under the HKCU hive.
The RegRep agent supports intelligent resource monitoring and uses Intelligent
Monitoring Framework (IMF) for resource state change notifications.
For more information about IMF, refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator’s
Guide.
Dependency
The RegRep resource depends on the MountV resource.
