RHBA-2013:0678 - 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:

  • In a two node cluster, under some circumstances where the network was not always reliable, and a token was lost but recovered before fencing was complete, then the two nodes simultaneously killed each other. With this update, the problem is solved by allowing only one node to kill the other in a deterministic fashion. A cluster restart, one node at a time, is required for this change to take effect. (BZ#923861)

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
