ServiceGuard 11.20 for EXT SAP 5.1 sap.functions

[GPissutto]

Hi folks,

Please, Does anybody know if there is any issue with file sap.functions in MCSG SAP EXT 5.1?, because I'm getting this error when I start the package:

Oct 21 11:57:46 AM - Node "svr1": (get_source): Found /etc/cmcluster.conf

I did some tests modifying sap.functions and there is something happening with  `( , I erased some of them and it passed, but that's not the idea I neither need nor have to modify it. There is something regarding the shell execution, but I am not able to see it.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks in advance.

>/etc/cmcluster/PRD/sapwas.cntl[6]: syntax error at line 572 : `(' unexpected

What's on line 6 and line 572?

[GPissutto]

Line 572 is this line in sap.functions:

if [ `(su - ${3} -c "${location:-cleanipc} ${2}") 2>&1|grep "Shared Memory Key"|grep "Att"|wc -l` -ne 0 ]; then

I modified to:

if [ `su - ${3} -c "${location:-cleanipc} ${2}" 2>&1|grep "Shared Memory Key"|grep "Att"|wc -l` -ne 0 ]; then

And it passed, but then another line of the same characteristics was marked with the same syntax error (in sap.functions)

This happens after the function get_source in sapwas.cntl is called and the error happens only for sap.functions files (both /opt/cmcluster/sap/sap.functions and /etc/cmcluster/sap.functions)

Line 6 is in sapwas.cntl, and after function get_source (the sixth line in the function) where all the files called by get_source are executed with "dot space":

   . $1    # display any errors

Thanks.

>if [ `(su - ${3} -c "${location:-cleanipc} ${2}") 2>&1| grep "Shared Memory Key" | grep "Att" | wc -l` -ne 0 ]; then

Hmm, I'm not sure why they would have an extra set of () there?  What shell is on the first line of the script?

I would also split it into two lines:

su - ${3} -c "${location:-cleanipc} ${2}" 2>&1 | grep "Shared Memory Key" | grep -q "Att"

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

That's exactly the problem, we are not supposed to modify sap.functions, is part of the Sap Extension Toolkit, and it is a robust script written by HP, and there is no shebang at the begining of the script, cause it is called with "dot script" in the sapwas.cntl and sapwas.cntl is called with "dot script" as well in the dbciPRD.cntl script, and this is called by the cluster, which works with posix or sh (here I'm not sure), so the thing is that it is and standard procedure.

[GPissutto]

There is something wrong with sap.functions that comes with Sap Extension 5.1, I used an older version (B.04.51.00), and it worked fine, everything is now working properly. So, I don't know what is the problem here, may be the installer made a mistake in both nodes when I installed the software or there is a bug...I don't know.

Have you reported the problem to HP?

>is part of the SAP Extension Toolkit, and it is a robust script written by HP, and there is no shebang at the beginning of the script, cause it is called with "dot script" ..., and this is called by the cluster, which works with POSIX or sh (here I'm not sure)

You might try using that fragment in sh and ksh to see if one accepts it.

[GPissutto]

Not yet, but I'm going to ... thanks anyway.

Cheers

I have no problems with that extra () in that if.  But I don't know what $3, $2 or $location are.

Hi GPissutto,

The same behaviour occurs on one upgraded SGeSAP : did you find a solution to your problem ?

Thanks and best regards
