3.76. rgmanager

Updated rgmanager packages that fix several bugs and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The rgmanager packages contain the Red Hat Resource Group Manager, which is used to create and manage high-availability server applications in the event of system downtime.

Bug Fixes

BZ#853083
When a cluster configuration file was invalid, an attempt to run the "clustat" command failed with a segmentation fault. This bug has been fixed with this update and "clustat" no longer crashes in the described scenario.
BZ#997546
Previously, the cluster services file system failed over from one node to another if the /tmp/ directory filled up. A patch has been provided to fix this bug and cluster services no longer fail over.
BZ#1016784
Recent changes in the lvm_by_lv script introduced a bug that caused all Logical Volume Management (LVM) status checks to fail. Consequently, when using high availability LVM (HA-LVM) with tagging made by LV, multiple warning and error messages were emitted while attempting to start a configured LVM resource. The LVM resource subsequently failed to start with a "vg/lv should not be active" error message. With this update, lvm_by_lv has been modified to remove white spaces from lvm commands that determine the resource owner. LVM status checks now succeed as expected and LVM resources are started properly.
BZ#1020279
Due to a syntax error in the underlying source code, the "find" command failed to find files whose names ended with the ".img" suffix. This update applies a patch to fix this bug and the command now works as expected.
BZ#1022723
If the "listener_name" attribute was omitted for the oracledb.sh resource agent script, the oracledb resources failed to start. With this update, oracledb.sh has been modified to operate correctly when no "listener_name" is given, and thus now starts as expected.
BZ#1035023
In certain environments, the hard-coded sleep time used in the agent process before trying to connect to the postmaster process was not long enough. As a consequence, the postgres-8 service terminated unexpectedly. With this update, the postgres-8.sh script has been modified to allow users to configure the sleep time according to their needs.
BZ#1035034
Under certain conditions, the postgres-8 service did not shut down gracefully and left the PID file populated. Consequently, the service failed to start after the reboot. The underlying source code has been modified and postgres-8 now works as expected.
BZ#1047989
Previously, the oralistener resource agent failed to stop when the listener process was no longer running. This update provides a patch to fix this bug and oralistener works correctly in the described scenario.
In addition, this update adds the following

Enhancement

BZ#924694
This update adds the possibility to specify the "timeout" parameter for the Xen virtual machines when using the "xm" command.
Users of rgmanager are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add this enhancement.
