RHBA-2014:0002 - cman bug fix update

Synopsis

cman bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cman packages that fix two bugs 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 bugs:

  • Due to a regression, the fence_bladecenter fence agent was not able to login to fence devices. The login code for fencing.py has been fixed, and a fence agent now logins to fence devices as expected. (BZ#1043484)

  • Previously, under some circumstances on a two-node cluster, both cluster nodes could be granted a lock on the same file at the same time on a GFS2 (Global File System 2) file system. A patch has been provided to fix this bug. With this update, only one cluster node is able to lock the file, the other cluster node waits till the lock is released. (BZ#1043358)

Users of cman 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
