RHBA-2013:1407 - fence-agents bug fix update

Synopsis

fence-agents bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

Red Hat fence agents are a collection of scripts for handling 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 bugs:

• Prior to this update, the fence agent for IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) could return an invalid return code when the "-M cycle" option was used. This invalid return code could cause invalid interpretation of success of a fence action, eventually causing the cluster to become unresponsive. This bug has been fixed and only predefined return codes are now returned in the described scenario. (BZ#1012574)

Users of fence-agents 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 https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
