API gateway Ssgbackup script failing on one cluster node.

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

When backing up the API Gateway, every day with the ssgbackup script. we get the following error on  one particular cluster configuration, in one node the DB backup is failing. 

Error:

/opt/SecureSpan/Gateway/config/backup/ssgbackup.sh -image imagename  -maindb

Backup of Gateway image partially succeeded.

Failed component: maindb

Environment

All supported versions of the CA API Gateway

Resolution

On a cluster gateway the maindb can only be backed up on the primary node .

When trying the backup on the secondary node it will throw this error.

There is no need to take a backup on the the secondary as this is a replica of the database on the master node.
