RHBA-2011:1504 - 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.

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. The openais package contains the openais executable, OpenAIS service handlers, default configuration files and an init script.

This update fixes for the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, cman could, under certain circumstances, terminate unexpectedly on all cluster and nodes were not fenced if the system clock was changed on one cluster node. As a consequence, the cluster was not shut down gracefully and had to be rebooted manually. With this update, the code has been modified to handle significant time changes. The cman service no longer terminates and the cluster no longer fails. (BZ#754716)

All users of openais 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.
