Re: vmware-dataservice-sca status changed from yellow to green
Gave this a look tonight. Seems like the vmware-dataservice-sca/vmware-sca is looking for a script called "dummy_path" (I know).
Found this little gem in the sca.log:
grep -Hin "dummy" /var/log/vmware/sca/sca.log|head -1
/var/log/vmware/sca/sca.log:8:2015-12-30T23:17:36.083Z [pool-5-thread-14 ERROR com.vmware.sca.servicecontrol.handlers.ScriptControlHandler] Failed to locate script; name: dummy_path, dirs: [/usr/lib/vmware-sca/scripts, /etc/vmware-sca/scripts], [java.lang.Exception: Script doesn't exist; path: /etc/vmware-sca/scripts/dummy_path]
So created a little "dummy_path"-script, which will only exit when run.
cat /etc/vmware-sca/scripts/dummy_path
#!/bin/sh
#I'm dumb, and will now exit. With a zero. Because. Awesome.
exit 0
I didn't have the time to check which process which was trying to run the script, so I gave everyone rights (I know. Not cool.).
chmod 777 /etc/vmware-sca/scripts/dummy_path
Profit (I've not seen the issue since, nor any complaints about the dummy_path-script). Oh, and I'm running the VCSA 6.0.0.10000 Build Number 3018521.
Guessing this isn't a "supported workaround", or anything like that (and may cause other problems). Just playing around with my home lab.
