Hi all,
Has anyone any experience getting scripts to call from the data broker policy- aka snapcentre plugin for vSphere? I have a perl script setup to do the same thing as this script in PowerShell for windows. If I run it within the data broker itself, it works fine, but calling it from the policy fails.
Documentation is a little sparse, it just says it needs to be perl (which it is) and to call it, I'm putting an absolute path in the pre-post area. Documentation is here for reference: https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2861085
The path I'm putting in the policy is /home/scripts/dc1_srm_mgmt_01_volumes.pl
If I run "perl /home/scripts/dc1_srm_mgmt_01_volumes.pl" locally on the data broker it works just fine. I know with the PowerShell script I ran for windows for some reason it used the SYSTEM account not the service account for the agent. I'm wondering what account it uses to run the perl script on the data broker appliance? It might be a permission thing, I've tried chmod 777 for fun but no joy. Not sure about the owner, it's currently the diag user. Perhaps I should change this to root or maint?
Any help would be appreicated. Oh and yes please develop native cascade support, fan-out is too limited unless you've got enough bandwidth to run a mirror and a second vault across your line
