RHBA-2009:1192 - cman bug fix update


Synopsis

cman bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cman packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Description

The Cluster Manager (cman) utility provides user-level services for managing a Linux cluster.

This update applies the following bug fixes:

  • Removing a node from the cluster using the 'cman_tool leave remove' command now properly reduces the expected_votes and quorum.

  • Quickly starting and stopping the cman service no longer causes the cluster membership to become inconsistent across the cluster.

All cman users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
