Enabling resntoff trigger

The Windows VCS admin guide says:

To configure this trigger, you must define the following:
Resource Name Define resources for which to invoke this trigger by
entering their names in the following line in the script: @resources
= ("resource1", "resource2");

 

Have you done this.  Also the Windows VCS admin guide says:

When invoked, the trigger script waits for a predefined interval and
checks the state of the resource. If the resource is not offline, the
trigger issues a system shutdown command, followed by the command
hastop -local -evacuate.

 

Is shutting down the system when the resource cannot offline what you want to happen?

What is the resource type that you are experiencing this issue with?

Mike

Thank you Mike,

Yes, I have configured the script section @resources with the name of my resurce:

 

@resources = ( "MSMQ" ) ;

 

The problem is that the script are not invoked. If i kill the msmq process I read on the log that the vcs try to fail the resource but the clean process fail and the resource still on-line. So I expect that the trigger script will invoked. But that's doesn't happen....

 

Thank you Mike,

I've configured the script with:

@resources = ( "MSMQ" ) ;

So when I kill the mqsv.exe the vcs log that resource go unexpectly off-line and try to clean it. But clean fail because cannot stop the MQAC driver. So I want to send a "net stop mqac" with resnotoff trigger instead of shutdown..

But after the clean fail the resnotoff are not invoked..I don't understand where is the error...

 

Try uncommenting line:

VCSAG_LOG_MSG("I", "Invoked with arg0=$ARGV[0], arg1=$ARGV[1]", msgid, $ARGV[0], $ARGV[1]);

I tried this and didn't make any other changes (I did not change @resources line) and in log I see:

If there is a syntax error in the resnotoff.pl trigger script then you should see:

2014/07/07 17:16:14 VCS INFO V-16-6-15003 (w23v51a) hatrigger:Failed to execute C:\Program Files\Veritas\Cluster Server\bin\triggers\resnotoff.pl

Just to confirm, I believe you have copied resnotoff.pl script from "Sample_Triggers" to "Triggers" directory.

Mike

 

Thank you Mike,

I have uncommented the line you have indicated and resnotoff.pl is copied under %VCSHOME%\bin\triggers 

This is my log:

2014/07/14 23:36:42 VCS ERROR V-16-2-13067 (VCS2) Agent is calling clean for resource(MSMQ) because the resource became OFFLINE unexpectedly, on its own.
2014/07/14 23:37:07 VCS ERROR V-16-2-13069 (VCS2) Resource(MSMQ) - clean failed.

And resnotoff are not invoked...I think the problem is fail on cleaning...I think that if clean fail script are not invoked.

I have to find the reason why resource cannot be cleaned after failure.

Thank you again

I tested putting exit 1 in a clean script and I get the following:

2014/07/14 23:14:18 VCS INFO V-16-1-50135 User admin fired command: hares -offline nw_mount_z  w23v51a  from 192.168.56.1

So here clean fails, the same as you, but then I get "Agent is unable to offline resource(nw_mount_z). Administrative intervention may be required" and then resnotoff is called - what do you see in the log after "clean failed"?  - can you post

Note if the monitor reports the resource is offline after then clean fails, then the resnotoff trigger will not be called, because then as far as VCS is concerned the resource will be offline.

What language is the agent written in - C, perl or shell ?

Mike

Hi Mike

I have change the clean retry limit from 0 to 1 for the MSMQ resource. This is what I get:

2014/07/15 07:34:29 VCS ERROR V-16-2-13067 (VCS2) Agent is calling clean for resource(MSMQ) because the resource became OFFLINE unexpectedly, on its own.
2014/07/15 07:34:54 VCS ERROR V-16-2-13069 (VCS2) Resource(MSMQ) - clean failed.
2014/07/15 07:35:54 VCS ERROR V-16-1-50148 ADMIN_WAIT flag set for resource MSMQ on system VCS2 with the reason 4

Resource still on line with excamative mark and and script are not invoked...

The agent is the bundled agent for MSMQ...I think is written in C , is a .dll file.

Thank you again

Francesco.

 

Mike!

Solved!

I have enabled the resadminwait trigger!

Now I can insert a reboot or other instruction on the script...and all can work as expected!

 

Thank you!
