Status

The following table explains the status switching of the MCCS resource caused by a user's command and the status.
The command assumes that it is generated by a user.

Network card agent: Manages the physical network adapters.

...

MCCS cannot use the online/offline commands to a network device. It is because a network is managed by the OS as soon as it is installed in the H/W.
Due to the characteristics, a network card's resource type action attribute is set to none. Also, its NoAction value is set to true.
The attribute value cannot be used to start or terminate the resource. It is operable at all nodes at the same time but it only monitors the status. It is called a monitoring only resource.
