RHBA-2011:0363 - fence-agents bug fix update

Synopsis

fence-agents bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated fence-agents package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Red Hat fence agents are a collection of scripts to handle remote power management for several devices. They allow failed or unreachable nodes to be forcibly restarted and removed from the cluster.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • A bug fix for a previous advisory, the RHEA-2010:0904 enhancement update, stated that the Brocade 200E, Brocade 300, Brocade 4100, Brocade 4900, and Brocade 5100 fencing devices are now supported by the fence_brocade agent. However, the fence_brocade agent was not included in the updated package. This update corrects this error, and the fence_brocade agent is now included in the package as expected. (BZ#680522)

All users of fence-agents are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

Solution

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