Issue:

How to run the postonline or postoffline triggers outside of VCS?

Solution:

Use this syntax to run the trigger;

/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/perl5 -I /opt/VRTSvcs/lib -S /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/triggers/postoffline

Example:

#/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/perl5 -I /opt/VRTSvcs/lib -S/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/triggers/postoffline system1 sgroup1

Text similar to below can be added to the trigger to verify its working.

# put yourcode here...

$OUTFILE ="/tmp/outfile";

system("echoRan postoffline on system $ARGV[0] at `/usr/bin/date` >>$OUTFILE");

Please note that attempting to run postoffline trigger will attempt to offline the service group in the named system.
