"Failed To Activate Trigger" error on AIX

Good Morning All,

Our UNIX Admin recently updated our core Netvault server, as well as several client plugins including two AIX boxes; for brevity, let's call the clients Box1 and Box2 which are supposed to be relatively identical.

 

Ever since the Netvault Server was upgraded, Box1 has been returning an error every time it tries to call the Netvault Trigger; however, Box2 has no problems calling the trigger in the same fashion.  To give a light background, these boxes hold a DB2 database and we have a script on the box that runs a native backup on the server and once complete, it calls the Netvault trigger which is supposed to launch the appropriate Netvault job that backs up the Backup image that db2 made and afetrwards, removes the image off the server.

Can someone point me in the right direction on possible logs to check out or things to try, as web search hasn't yielded very much at all regarding the trigger failure.

 

Error: Failed to activate trigger

Trigger Call:  /usr/netvault/bin/nvtrigger -server <netvault server name> <Backup Job Name>

  • Ok....so lets try narrow it down a little more.....the trigger command that is used on client B each day and works....what happens if we run that on the problematic client A. Does it also fail to activate that trigger. Just want to see if its a problem with all triggers from that client.

    What versions of NVBU are we talking about on the backup server and the clients in question?
