RHBA-2012:1348 - cman bug fix update
Synopsis
cman bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated cman packages that fix a 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:
- The speed of fencing is critical because otherwise, broken nodes have more time to corrupt data. Previously, the operation of the fence_vmware_soap fencing agent was slow when used on the VMWare vSphere platform with hundreds of virtual machines. This update fixes a problem with virtual machines that do not have a valid UUID, which can be created during failed P2V (Physical-to-Virtual) processes. Now, the fencing process is also much faster and it does not terminate if a virtual machines without an UUID is encountered. (BZ#861392)
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.
