RHBA-2012:0483 - fence-agents bug fix update

Synopsis

fence-agents bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated fence-agents packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Red Hat fence agents are a collection of scripts to handle remote power management for cluster devices. They allow failed or unreachable nodes to be forcibly restarted and removed from the cluster.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the fence_vmware_soap fence agent did not expose the full path to a virtual machine that is required for fencing. With this update, fence_vmware_soap has been modified to support identification of virtual machines as expected. (BZ#811873)

All users of fence-agents are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

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

This update is available via 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
