RHBA-2012:0505 - cman bug fix update

Synopsis

cman bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cman packages that fix one bug are 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:

• Previously, cman did not handle idle connection timeout correctly when fencing a cluster node. Consequently, a connection to a fence device timed out and fencing failed if the "delay" option was set to more than 5 seconds. With this update, the "delay" option is applied before the connection is opened and the fencing thus no longer fails in this scenario. (BZ#811939)

All users of cman 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.

This update is available via the 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
