Synopsis

rgmanager bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated rgmanager package that fixes various bugs and adds one enhancement is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rgmanager package contains the Red Hat Resource Group Manager, which provides the ability to create and manage high-availability server applications in the event of system downtime.

The rgmanager package has been upgraded to upstream version 3.0.12.1, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Note that this update requires the resource-agents package in version 3.9.2 or later. (BZ#707118)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

  • When handling failed services, the "clusvcadm -d" command now operates consistently. (BZ#673167)

  • Exclusive prioritization now operates on service failures instead of only on node failures. (BZ#690191)

  • The rgmanager service no longer terminates unexpectedly with a segmentation fault when a resource agent provides invalid or corrupted metadata. (BZ#692895)

  • Reference count handling of resources with multiple instances has been corrected. (BZ#709398)

  • An error in handling of independent subtree failures, which caused more resources to be disabled than necessary, has been fixed. (BZ#716231)

  • The rgmanager service no longer terminates unexpectedly on startup/shutdown or during service relocation. (BZ#697446, BZ#741607)

As well, this update adds the following enhancement:

  • The rgmanager service can now be disabled in the cluster.conf configuration file. (BZ#723925)

All users of rgmanager are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs and adds this enhancement.
