Developing Sun Cluster HA Agents for NEP Application Management

You need to create the management agents for your application to use the Sun OTP availability service. You can develop agents using agent builder, scripts, and C/C++.

Developing Agents Using Agent Builder

Sun Cluster agent builder is included in Sun OTP. The agent builder allows you to specify information about your application and the kind of resource type (scalable or failover) that you want to create.

You need to provide start, stop (optional), validate (optional), and probe (optional) commands for your application. Agent builder automatically generates an agent package that can be used to put your application under Sun OTP management service control.

For more information on developing agents using agent builder, refer to Sun Cluster Data Services Developer’s Guide for Solaris OS.
