Symptoms

scriptd might indicate that it is running on a secondary blade, even when the process is running on a primary blade or an appliance. The error condition generates this log message: 014f000f:7: Becoming secondary cluster member

Impact

Perpetual iCall handlers do not run, so scripts running under the control of a daemon do not run.

Conditions

The conditions under which this occurs are not well understood, but it is a rare occurrence.

Workaround

Issue the command 'bigstart restart scriptd' on an affected blade or device.

Fix Information

scriptd no longer incorrectly reports that it is running on a secondary blade when it is not.
