Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated sanlock packages that add multiple enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Hosts connected to a common Storage Area Network (SAN) can use sanlock to synchronize the access to the shared disks. Both libvirt and vdsm can use sanlock to synchronize access to shared virtual machine (VM) images.

The sanlock packages have been upgraded to the latest upstream version, which provides a number of enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#782600)
