RHBA-2017:2946 - fence-agents bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

fence-agents bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Updated fence-agents packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The fence-agents packages provide 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 bug:

• Prior to this update, the fence_compute agent ignored some of its options. Consequently, the fence_compute agent was unable to create a Nova connection, and fence-nova "Shoot The Offending Node In The Head" (STONITH) devices that used the fence_compute agent were unable to start. With this update, fence_compute recognizes the options correctly, and the described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1497241)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• The NovaEvacuate resource agent has been updated to work with the the new fence_evacuate agent if available. As a result, it is capable of making fenced OpenStack instances available again for Red Hat OpenStack Platform versions 9 to 12. (BZ#1497072)

Users of fence-agents are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
