RHBA-2013:1746 - resource-agents bug fixes update

Synopsis

resource-agents bug fixes update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

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

Description

The resource-agents packages contain a set of scripts to interface with several services to operate in a High Availability environment for both Pacemaker and rgmanager service managers.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the netfs agent could hang during a stop operation, even with the self_fence option enabled. With this update, self fence operation is executed sooner in the process, which ensures that NFS client detects server leaving if umount can not succeed, and self fencing occurs. (BZ#1027410)

  • Previously, the IPaddr2 agent did not send out unsolicited neighbor advertisements to announce a link-layer address change. Consequently, floating IPv6 addresses, which require this functionality, could not work correctly. To fix this bug, the send_ua internal binary required for IPaddr2 agent to drive IPv6 addresses has been added. As a result, the floating IPv6 addresses now work correctly, and IPv4 addresses are left unaffected by this change. (BZ#1027412)

Users of resource-agents are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

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
