    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Alain,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Nothing really to script just basic mysql commands.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Something like:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;APP_QUIESCE_CMD01=mysql&amp;nbsp; –Dmysql –uuser –Ppwd &amp;lt; /path/to/quiesce.script&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;APP_UNQUIESCE_CMD01=mysql&amp;nbsp; –Dmysql –uuser –Ppwd &amp;lt; /path/to/unquiesce.script&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;PRE_EXIT_CMD01=mysql&amp;nbsp; –Dmysql –uuser –Ppwd &amp;lt; /path/to/unquiesce.script&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The -D argument is for your database name, probably mysql&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The -u argument is for username&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The -P argument is for password&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the quiesce quiesce.script you would have:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;flush tables with read lock&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;flush logs&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In unquiesce.script you would have:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;unlock tables&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am not a mysql expert either, this was just google &lt;SPAN __jive_emoticon_name="wink" __jive_macro_name="emoticon" class="jive_macro jive_emote" src="https://community.netapp.com/5.0.1/images/emoticons/wink.gif"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Point is in SC you can simply run commands so figure out how you want or can do the mysql queries in the quiesce.script and unquiesce.script and that is it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Keith&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;It looks like SC cant get a database connection. Below are your settings:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;MYSQL_DATABASES=mysql:root/53616c7465645f5f9b57ab314e02617d65cf27adbba602ed266987370e53704f&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;HOST=172.20.20.192&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;PORTS=mysql:3306&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;MASTER_SLAVE=N&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would change HOST=localhost&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would verify is DB really running on 3306? Do a &lt;BR /&gt;"telnet localhost 3306"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would check the database connection: mysql -uUsername -pPassword&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do you get a connection using same user running SC with password SC is using for mysql?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would not use --action quiesce, the --action snap is better, it will run quiesce as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Finally what version of SC do you have? The latest version on NOW is 3.5, if you have 3.3 or something old, I would get 3.5.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Let me know if this helps?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Keith&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

I found one of your advices on the community about a workaround for "#08S01Bad handshake"

commenting out APP_NAME=mysql #APP_NAME=mysql in config):

and add in config file
APP_QUIESCE_CMD01=mysql &amp;lt;arguments&amp;gt; &amp;lt;sql query=flush tables with read lock&amp;gt; APP_QUIESCE_CMD02=mysql &amp;lt;arguments&amp;gt; &amp;lt;sql query=flush logs&amp;gt; APP_UNQUIESCE_CMD01=mysql &amp;lt;arguments&amp;gt; &amp;lt;sql query=unlock tables&amp;gt; PRE_EXIT_CMD01=mysql &amp;lt;arguments&amp;gt; &amp;lt;sql query=unlock tables&amp;gt;

unfortunatly I was not confortable how to modify the file but I did. 
I thought it did work but when I check the debug file &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":disappointed_face:"&gt;😞&lt;/span&gt; I had what's bellow.

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;What version of MySQL? What are your config settings for MySQL?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As workaround you can use the above method, mentioned in thread and the mysql command. Also I would like at IMT for Snap Creator, what is supported should work, but we certainly dont test every version, especially really old versions of MySQL.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Various 5.0 versions of MySQL 5.0.77 have had issues with the MySQL client:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A class="active_link" href="http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?51,356486,356927#msg-356927" title="http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?51,356486,356927#msg-356927" target="_blank"&gt;http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?51,356486,356927#msg-356927&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Again change the HOST setting to HOST=localhost and ensure that the mysql port is open.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. telnet localhost 3306&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. &lt;SPAN style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial;"&gt;mysql -u root -h localhost -P 3306 -p &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Let us know&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Keith&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;This looks like issue with MySQL client, I did some research on MySQL forums and there seems to be issues with old versions of MySQL which we dont test.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am glad you found work around this is definitely a decent workaround and is pretty simple.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I will see if maybe we can look at a using a MySQL client that is less sensitive, there seems to be other options to look into.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Keith&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

This character will break our XML encoding which happens between scServer and scAgent.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you have to use the "&amp;lt;" character then you need to add command to a wrapper script and call the script.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The only acceptions where a "&amp;lt;" is allowed is the SUCCESS_TRAP and SENDTRAP commands.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Keith&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was running into the exact same problem this afternoon, yet the fix for my problem was not mentioned in this thread so I'll add my 2 cents here.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, I was getting these errors (MySQL on Linux with SC agent 3.5, SC server is version 3.5 on Windows):&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; [Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 14:27:55 2012] [vc6apachedmz03t:9090(3.5.0.1)] ERROR: [mys-00001] Database connection does not exist&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; [Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 14:27:50 2012] [vc6apachedmz03t:9090(3.5.0.1)] ERROR: [scf-00053] Application quiesce for plugin mysql failed with exit code 1, Exiting!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I used the SC 3.5 GUI to create this MySQL configuration, and I used the following fields in the GUI:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Db:User/Password:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; snapcreator_test:root/mypassword&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Host: localhost&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Port: snapcreator_test:3306&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After some digging around I found this logfile which contained some useful info: &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/usr/local/scAgent3.5.0/logs/MYSQL/vc6apachedmz03t-daily.debug.20120504151715.agent.log&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(by the way, it's annoying that this particular logfile is not available from the GUI,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;otherwise I would have discovered the nature of the problem much sooner)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The errors in this logfile were:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 15:17:21 2012] INFO: Starting watchdog with [25286], forced unquiesce timeout [65] second(s)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 15:17:21 2012] DEBUG: Couldn't connect to localhost:snapcreator_test/tcp: IO::Socket::INET: Bad service 'snapcreator_test' at /&amp;lt;/usr/local/scAgent3.5.0/snapcreator&amp;gt;SnapCreator/MOD/MYSQL.pm line 112&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 15:17:21 2012] INFO: Quiescing databases&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 15:17:21 2012] INFO: Quiescing database snapcreator_test&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 15:17:21 2012] ERROR: [mys-00002] Database connection problem for snapcreator_test detected&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 15:17:21 2012] DEBUG: Couldn't connect to localhost:snapcreator_test/tcp: IO::Socket::INET: Bad service 'snapcreator_test' at /&amp;lt;/usr/local/scAgent3.5.0/snapcreator&amp;gt;SnapCreator/MOD/MYSQL.pm line 112&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 15:17:21 2012] INFO: Unquiescing databases&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 15:17:21 2012] INFO: Unquiescing database snapcreator_test&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[Fri May&amp;nbsp; 4 15:17:21 2012] ERROR: [mys-00005] Database connection problem for snapcreator_test detected&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;From this, I gathered that there was some mixup with the portnumbers somewhere.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here's the problem: in the actual configuration file, I saw this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;PORTS=snapcreator_test:snapcreator_test:3306&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So this created this error. I fixed it by specifying:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Port: 3306&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the GUI, which resulted in this in the config file:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;PORTS=snapcreator_test:3306&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I guess this could qualify as a bug of some kind.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Additionally, when specifying more than one database, following the official documentation&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;doesn't seem to work:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;MYSQL_DATABASES=snapcreator_test:root/mypassword;sc:root/mypassword&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;HOST=localhost&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;PORTS=snapcreator_test:3306;sc:3306&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This yields:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Should I report this problem in a different forum post ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Best regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Filip Sneppe&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
