Requirements for scripts to customize SFHA hot fix deployment

You can create custom perl scripts to perform tasks that are required before and after installation of a Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) hot fix by Patch Installer Add-on.

To help you verify that scripts executed successfully, anything printed on STDERR or STDOUT from the script is displayed in the task log details when you install the customized hot fix.

The following are examples showing the content required for using the scripts to customize deployment of Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) hot fixes.

Example for pre-installation script:

# stop relevant applications before the core services are stopped and
	 patch is installed

# exit the script with proper exit code and message.
# if pre setup fails HF/CP installation will be aborted.

$ret = 0;
if ($ret) # zero exit code indicates success. non-zero indicates error. 
{

   my $msg = "some error message indicating what failed";

   print STDERR "Pre setup failed: $msg";

   exit(1); 
}
else
{
   print STDOUT "Pre setup successfull";
   exit(0); 
}

Example for post-installation script:

## Post setup script. executed after HF/CP is installed but 
	before system reboots (if reboot is required)



# start relevant applications which were stopped in the pre-setup 
	script.

$ret = 0;
if ($ret) # zero exit code indicates success. non-zero indicates error. 
{

   my $msg = "some error message indicating what failed";

   print STDERR "Post setup failed: $msg";

   exit(1); 
}
else
{
   print STDOUT "Post setup successfull";
   exit(0); 
}
