RHBA-2012:0502 - device-mapper-multipath bug fix update

Synopsis

device-mapper-multipath bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The device-mapper-multipath packages provide tools to manage multipath devices using the device-mapper multipath kernel module.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Device-Mapper Multipath uses certain regular expressions in the built-in device configurations to determine a multipath device so that the correct configuration can be applied to the device. Previously, some regular expressions for the device vendor and product ID were set too broad. As a consequence, some devices could be matched with incorrect device configurations. With this update, the product and vendor regular expressions have been set more strict so that all multipath devices can now be properly configured. (BZ#802433)

All users of device-mapper-multipath are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

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