RHBA-2012:0230 - fcoe-utils package update
Synopsis
fcoe-utils package update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
An updated fcoe-utils package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The fcoe-utils package provides Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) utilities, such as the fcoeadm command line tool for configuring FCoE interfaces, and the fcoemon service to configure DCB Ethernet QOS filters.
This update fixes the following bugs:
-
Prior to this update, fcoeadm displayed misleading messages when working with non-existing interfaces. This update modifies the underlying code so that fcoeadm now reports only that no host was found on the interface. (BZ#512938)
-
Prior to this update, the long options "--interface" and "--target" did not report all FCoE instances that were created on the system. This update modifies the commands so that they report all FCoE instances and behave in the same way as the short options "-i" and "-t". (BZ#703374)
All users of fcoe-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
