The NIC and the IP agents can monitor network adapters based on GUID
The NIC and the IP agents can now use the network adapter GUID to monitor the NIC and the IP resources. This enhancement is useful in the following scenario where the public network is used for a VCS cluster:
The NIC interface name is used for the MACAddress attribute on the physical systems that use NIC teaming.
A tenant controls the NIC interface name, and it may be changed for various reasons without knowing how it affects VCS clusters.
Enforcing the use of a naming convention for the interface or preventing a person or a system from renaming the NIC is not possible.
You can now set the MACAddress attribute of the NIC and the IP agents to the GUID of the network adapter. The agents can then monitor the resource based on the GUID. In scenarios like the one mentioned earlier, you can use the GUID, instead of the interface name, to monitor the public network in a VCS cluster.
