A shared disk agent is an agent that manages the shared disks.
Data on the shared disks will be damaged if you try to access to write from multiple nodes (or servers).
Thus, to control the situations, we only mount the file system from an operation node and unmount it to prohibit writing access from a standby node.
A shared disk agent manage mounting and unmounting of disks and monitors whether it is writable.
