2016/05/04 20:46:17 VCS INFO V-16-6-15003 (c3dwh1p1) hatrigger:Failed to execute /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/triggers//multinicb_postchange ipmp_group ce0 0 1 0

Manually executing the trigger gives below error

# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/triggers/multinicb_postchange ipmp_group e1000g2 0 1 0
Can't use string ("LOCK_FILE") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use at /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/triggers//multinicb_postchange line 65.

The multinicb_postchange fails due to scripting error.

WORKAROUND:

Updated the trigger script as below to use GLOB to pass the FILEHANDLE

Below are the differences between the incorrect script (multinicb_postchange) and the new modified script (multinicb_postchange.upd1).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

# diff multinicb_postchange multinicb_postchange.upd1

<       open($_[0], ">".$_[1]);
---
>       *FILEHANDLE=$_[0];
>       open(FILEHANDLE, ">".$_[1]);

<       close($_[0]);
---
>       *FILEHANDLE=$_[0];
>       close(FILEHANDLE);

<     AcquireLock("LOCK_FILE", $lock_file);
---
>     AcquireLock(*LOCK_FILE, $lock_file);
155c157
<     ReleaseLock("LOCK_FILE");
---
>     ReleaseLock(*LOCK_FILE);

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After incorporating above changes the trigger works successfully.

VERITAS engineering will fix the trigger script issue in future release.

The default multinicb_postchange trigger provided in VCS 6.x release fails due to scripting error.

The default scripts are in /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/sample_triggers. To use them the scripts needs to be copied to /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/triggers directory.
