Synopsis

openais bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated openais package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4.

Description

The Application Interface Specification (AIS) is an API and set of policies for developing applications that maintain service during faults. The OpenAIS Standards Based Cluster Framework is an OSI-certified implementation of the Service Availability Forum AIS. The openais package contains the openais executive, openais service handlers, default configuration files and init script.

This update addresses the following issue:

  • an invalid assertion caused MTUs of 9000 bytes to generate a SIGABRT signal and dump core when inside totem running heavy loads. With this update, the assertion has been corrected (and the MTU increased to 10000 bytes). (BZ#521098)

All openais users should install this update which fixes this bug.

Solution

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