RHBA-2019:0177 - 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 two bugs 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 bugs:

• Previously, the fence_hpblade utility terminated unexpectedly with the following error message: "TypeError: log_expect() takes exactly 3 arguments (4 given)". With this update, the problem has been fixed. (BZ#1652115)

• Previously, the fence_scsi agent sometimes unnecessarily rebooted nodes when it was configured as a watchdog script. This was caused by the system reporting incorrect status of devices. With this update, the "retry" and "retry-sleep" options have been added. If you experience the described problem, set "retry" to 1 attempt or higher, and test your system. In addition, you can also set the "retry-sleep" timeout higher than the default 1 second. After appropriately setting these options, nodes reboot by watchdog only if they are fenced. (BZ#1654172)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• This update adds a fence agent for the Redfish API, which is used on Intel RackScale Design based hardware. (BZ#1666848)

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