Agent Warm Start

When integrated with CA Virtual Assurance, the SystemEDGE agent can implement a deployed configuration file without requiring a cold restart. Instead, receiving configuration changes from CA Virtual Assurance triggers a warm start, where the agent can implement changes while running. When performing a warm start, the agent does not have to drop and rebind to interfaces, reestablish OID variables, or restart AIMs, enabling faster and less resource intensive configuration.

For more information about deploying runtime configuration changes through CA Virtual Assurance, see the CA Virtual Assurance Administration Guide.
