sybcluster uses the Unified Agent Framework (UAF) to provide remote management capabilities, in the form of runtime services for managing distributed Sybase resources. It offers a set of common services and enables Sybase processes, such as sybcluster and the Adaptive Server plug-in, to plug in to an agent to manage server resources and perform various operations.
Unified Agent servers can broadcast themselves on a subnet using UDP, or register themselves with a lookup server such as Jini or LDAP.
See the Users Guide to the Unified Agent and Management Console for detailed information about UAF.
