RHBA-2011:0360 - corosync bug fix update
Synopsis
corosync bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated corosync packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The corosync packages provide the Corosync Cluster Engine and C Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster software.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Compared to a unicast token, certain network switches add an extra delay to the transmission of a multicast packet. Consequent to this, multicast messages may have been retransmitted, even though the message was not lost and the retransmission was therefore not necessary. This update introduces the "miss_count_const" constant that allows a user to specify the maximum number of times a message is checked for retransmission before the retransmission is performed. (BZ#683592)
All users of corosync are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
