Larry,
I think you are missing the point of Denis' remarks.
There are two trapd.conf files in UNIX and one of them is useless.
The dummy one is in /usr/OV/conf and the real one is in /usr/OV/conf/C.
If you are examining a trapd.conf, it has to be the one in the "C"
directory. My advice to everyone is to ignore the old one in /usr/OV/conf
or delete it. It's only there because a migration script that has been
part of the installation since Version 3 is looking for it. It will
finally get removed in the next Release.
The error message you got means that there is a "Start of Description"
header , SDESC, on or around line #14185 which is not followed by a
matching "End of Description header, EDESC, a few lines later, in the file
/usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf . In trapd.conf every SDESC must be matched by
an EDESC before the start of the next trap entry.
Don't know why this happened, but I do know that trapd will not (re)load
the file in this condition. You'll have to edit it manually (make a copy
first!!!) and fix it. Then issue "event -e FMTCHG" to get trapd to reload
it. If you don't see errors in the trapd.log afterward, then you'll know
the syntax is good and the file has been properly loaded.

Denis,
I checked #14185 in trapd.conf. I don't see anything wrong. This line i
have not even touched since they were added.
Below is the script i used to load:
/usr/OV/bin/addtrap -l trapMetricGreenToYellow -g 6 -s 6 \
-n rm -i 1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.3.3.1 \
-o A -c "Status Events" -t 0 \
-S 1 \
-D "This trap indicates that a metric on the server has turned
from green to yellow. tvGreenToYellowMsg is a string describing
the type of alert and the metric that has turned from green to
yellow." \
-e Nvserverd_Event \
-F '$E $G $S $# args: $*'
/usr/OV/bin/addtrap -l trapMetricToRed -g 6 -s 8 \
-n rm -i 1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.3.3.1 \
-o A -c "Status Events" -t 0 \
-S 1 \
-D "This trap indicates that a metric on the server has turned
red. tvToRedMsg is a string describing the type of alert
and the metric that has turned red." \
-e Nvserverd_Event \
-F '$E $G $S $# args: $*'
Also my trapd.lrf is as below:
trapd:/usr/OV/bin/trapd:
OVs_YES_START:nvsecd,pmd:-B5000:OVs_WELL_BEHAVED::::
Thanks,
Larry

Hi,
Can you send a copy of your addtrap script?
Edit trapd.conf and check what's wrong at or around line #14185
These messages happen when there's a mistake in a trap entry format.
but something seems strange, as usually the traps are added to
/usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf and not /usr/OV/conf/trapd.conf....
What's the content of your /usr/OV/lrf/trapd.lrf file?
Denis

Hello Guys,
When i try to use addtrap script for metaframe traps, i get following

End of file in /usr/OV/conf/trapd.conf prematurely reached after SDESC
keyword in line #14185 of /usr/OV/conf/trapd.conf :.
