<strong>Bundled</strong> agents are VCS processes that manage resources of predefined resource<br />

types. The agents manage resources according to commands received from the<br />

VCS engine, HAD. <strong>Bundled</strong> agents are a part of VCS, and are installed when VCS<br />

is installed. A system has one agent per resource type that monitors all resources<br />

of that type; for example, a single IP agent manages all IP resources.<br />

When the agent is started, it obtains the necessary configuration information<br />

from VCS. It then periodically monitors the resources, and updates VCS with the<br />

resource status.<br />
