Pre-freeze script Linux failed with error

[lukeroom]

Hey,

exist for the Linux pre-freeze and post-thaw script a description / instructions ?

we get an error message when veeam run the script:

"Timed out waiting for script to finish execution."

Here is the script:

#!/bin/bash
touch /tmp/prescript.dat
exit 0

The script works fine. But we get an error message During the backup.

Hi Lukas,

Are these scripts triggered successfully when you do a snapshot via vSphere Client with quiescence enabled?

Thanks!

Good Morning,

we don´t use scripts over the vmwaretools. we use scripts from veeam B&R backup job "application-aware processing options" " Scripts" "Linux-scripts".
Theses scripts don´t start when i perform a snapshot over the vSphere Console.
The Scripts are located on the Veeam B&R Server.

The default timeout value is 600 seconds. Can you try to increase it, using the following regkey, and see whether it makes any difference?

Code: Select all

MaxGuestScriptTimeoutSec

Thanks.

I can´t find that regkey in the registry.

Our skript run´s 2 seconds. The Timeout can´t be the problem?!
The error message appears after 120 seconds.

You have to create it the standard HKLM\SOFTWARE\VeeaM\Veeam Backup and Replication hive. Anyway, it seems that logs investigation is required, so, open a case with our support team and let them investigate it directly. Thanks.

You may want to check the line endings in the script and replace all "\r\n" with "\n", using the notepad++ advanced replacement mode.

Hello,

I have checked the script with vi:

cd /tmp$
touch datei$
mkdir ordner$

It looks good

I recall having issues with freeze script on RHEL and remembered one particular problem was the exit code. I see you are using exit 0 for successful execution on exit. I found that I had use a non-zero exit code. I found my old post:

Maybe this will help.

Hi

Should this be a DWORD?

Hi Masonit,

Yes, a DWORD.
