About the VCS agent for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013
The VCS application agent for Microsoft SharePoint Server manages SharePoint Server Service Applications, Web Applications, and services in a VCS cluster. The agent provides monitoring support in making a SharePoint Server applications highly available in a VCS environment.
Depending on the configuration, the agent performs the following operations:
Monitors, starts, and stops the configured SharePoint services.
Monitors the configured Web Applications, brings them online, and takes them offline.
Monitors the configured Service Applications, brings them online, and takes them offline.
If any of the configured SharePoint component fails or is unavailable, the agent attempts to restart the component on the local node. If the component fails to start, the agent declares the resource as faulted.
