RHBA-2011:1262 - openais bug fix update


Synopsis

openais bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated openais package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Extended Update Support.

Description

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

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, receive buffers could overflow and packets dropped under high traffic. As a result, the retransmit list appeared. This update processes incoming messages more frequently so there is no longer an overflow of receive buffers and dropping messages. (BZ#718773)

All OpenAIS users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.

Solution

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

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