Agent cleaning resources
Hi again,
What actually happens when an agents cleans a resource. I mean when the message appears "Agent is calling clean...."
Thanks
Hi,
Clean entry point is called when VCS encounters resource faults (eg. Monitor timeout, online timeout, offline timeout).
The agent for that specific resource calls the corresponding clean script. It is usually bringing down the resource in a forceful manner
Each agent has a different clean script. Refer the bundled agent guide for action taken by clean script of each resource.
For eg., here is the what clean script of IP resource would do:
Clean
Brings down the IP address that is associated with the specified interface.
Here is the one for zone resource:
Clean
Another attempt to bring down a Solaris 10 zone forcefully.
Take a look at the following doc on how VCS manages faults:

Hope this answers your query.
