As per the VCS engine log:
2020/10/16 11:01:08 VCS ERROR V-16-2-13067 (ap-coco02p) Agent is calling clean for resource(cocop-ftp-app-RES) because the resource became OFFLINE unexpectedly, on its own.
2020/10/16 11:01:08 VCS ERROR V-16-2-13067 (ap-coco02p) Agent is calling clean for resource(cocop-ftps-app-RES) because the resource became OFFLINE unexpectedly, on its own.
The cause was sortdc not able to parse information in the cluster's main.cf correctly. The resource in question was:
Application cocop-ftp-app-RES ( StartProgram = "/bin/systemctl enable vsftpd ; /bin/systemctl start vsftpd" StopProgram = "/bin/systemctl disable vsftpd ; /bin/systemctl stop vsftpd" MonitorProcesses = { "/usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf" } )
sortdc ended up actually running the "systemctl" commands mentioned instead of just capturing the VCS configuration. This had the effect of faulting the resource.
The sortdc utility was amended to correctly parse information in main.cf. The latest sortdc utility is available here:

Build 5.6.20201202 or later addresses the issue.
