Error Message

The SRDF agent log will show the following after SRDF agent debugging has been enabled:

2018/01/11 15:50:06 VCS DBG_1 SRDF:SRDF_1:online:Attribute ConfValidate not found in the argument list.
2018/01/11 15:50:07 VCS DBG_AGDEBUG script (/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/SRDF/online) exited with status (0)

To enable SRDF agent debugging:

# haconf -makerw
# hatype –modify SRDF LogDbg DBG_1 DBG_2 DBG_3 DBG_4 DBG_5 DBG_AGINFO DBG_AGDEBUG DBG_AGTRACE
# haconf -dump -makero

To disable SRDF agent debug (After the issue has reoccurred):

# haconf -makerw
# hatype –modify SRDF LogDbg -delete DBG_1 DBG_2 DBG_3 DBG_4 DBG_5 DBG_AGINFO DBG_AGDEBUG DBG_AGTRACE
# haconf -dump -makero

The /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/SRDFTypes.cf  file doesn't contain the 'ConfValidate' attribute in the 'ArgList.' This is the reason why the resource online operation was failing:


# cat /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/SRDFTypes.cf

type SRDF (
        static keylist RegList = { ComputeDRSLA }
        static int ActionTimeout = 180
        static keylist SupportedActions = { update, ld2pd, PreSwitch, StartRPOComputation, StopRPOComputation, ReportRPOData, StartWriter, GetCurrentRPO, dev_scan }
        static int MonitorInterval = 300
        static int OfflineMonitorInterval = 0
        static int OpenTimeout = 180
        static int RestartLimit = 1
        static str ArgList[] = { SymHome, GrpName, DevFOTime, AutoTakeover, SplitTakeover, Mode, IsCompositeGroup, SwapRoles, DetailedMonitoring, SymapiServers, ComputeDRSLA, LinkMonitor, AdvancedOpts }
        str SymHome = "/usr/symcli"
        str GrpName
        int DevFOTime = 2
        boolean AutoTakeover
        boolean SplitTakeover
        str Mode
        boolean IsCompositeGroup
        int SwapRoles = 1
        int DetailedMonitoring = 0
        str SymapiServers[]
        int ComputeDRSLA
        temp boolean Tagging = 0
        temp str VCSResLock
        temp int Counter = 0
        temp str PrevState = "normal"
        int LinkMonitor = 0
        int ConfValidate = 0
    str AdvancedOpts{} = { ExtendMonitor = null }
)

You can work around this issue by running the following command to add the "ConfValidate" field:
# /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/sample_srdf/addSRDFType.sh

Infoscale has also released  latest SRDF agent version which contains the fix for this issue:
https://downloads.infoscale.com/tools/high-availability-agents

"'ConfValidate not found" is returned when the SRDF agent attempts to go online.
