I have moved your reply in https://vox.veritas.com/t5/Storage-Foundation/how-to-probe-resources/td-p/609488  
to a new discussion in the Cluster forum, as that 2013 post was answered/solved.

@Adireddy, what makes you believe that NIC resources are not probed?

VCS will monitor/probe each resource every 60 seconds by default.

NIC is a Persistent type of resource that cannot be onlined or offlined. It can only be monitored.

Do you mean the status is Unknown or what?

Was VCS upgraded recently?  If VCVSD was upgraded recently, check types.cf in /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config and comapre it with the one located in /etc/VRTSvcs/conf.  If they are not the same, just back up the one in config then copy the one in conf to the default location (/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config) then stop (hastop -all -force)  and restart vcs  You need to do this on all nodes.  If this does nto resolve the issue, run the commands below and post the output.

1. uname -a

2. hasys -display | mgrep -i vers

3. hastatus -sum

4. hares -display <NIC resource name>

Kind regards,

Frank
