Limitations of custom script execution for soft dependencies

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
Custom script execution for soft dependencies has the following limitations:
  1. Script execution is not supported for non-default VRTSvbs package path. This feature assumes that VRTSvbs package is installed in %ProgramFiles%\Veritas\VRTSvbs.
  2. Double quotes are not supported in the custom script pathname or arguments to the custom script. Use single quotes instead for the same.
  3. For Windows tiers, short filenames must be enabled on the cluster nodes and script execution is not supported in parent tiers managed by Microsoft Failover Clustering.
  4. On UNIX, spaces are not supported in the path name. The workaround is to create a soft link to the absolute path and specify the soft link in the script name.
