RHBA-2012:0395 - cman bug fix update
Synopsis
cman bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated cman package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The Cluster Manager (cman) utility provides user-level services for managing a Linux cluster.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The fence_rhevm fencing agent uses the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization API to check the power status ("on" or "off") of a virtual machine. In addition to the states of "up" and "down", the API includes other states like "unassigned", "powering_up", "paused", "migrating", "unknown", "not_responding", "wait_for_launch", "reboot_in_progress", "saving_state", "restoring_state", "suspended", "image_illegal", "image_locked" or "powering_down". Previously, only if the machine was in the "up" state, the "on" power status was returned. The "off" status was returned for all other states although the machine was actually running. This allowed for successful fencing even before the machine was really powered off. With this update, the fence_rhevm agent detects power status of a cluster node more conservatively, and the "off" status is returned only if the machine is really powered off, it means in the "off" state. (BZ#765665)
All users of cman are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
