RHBA-2007:0149 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rgmanager packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Description

The rgmanager package contains the Red Hat Resource Group Manager, which
provides high availability of critical server applications in the event of
planned or unplanned system downtime.

This update applies the following bug fixes:

• In some cases certain cluster services could get stuck in the "stopping"

state.

• clushutdown man page has been removed
• A bug was fixed which caused clusvcadm to hang if a node processing a

request died.

• A bug was fixed which could cause a failed service to be stuck in a state

that would not allow the user to enable or disable it.

• rgmanager now stops resources in the order specified by the cluster.conf file
• rgmanager now has improved debugging information
• A bug was fixed which caused 'clustat -x' to fail to include group

information.

• It is now possible to start a service on the cluster based in the

failover domain priority.

• A bug was fixed which caused rgmanager to hang in certain cases

after being fenced.

• A bug was fixed which caused rgmanager to timeout when getting a

service list via clustat.

• A bug was fixed which caused an "Invalid state 117" error after failing

to unmount.

• clustat now returns useful exit codes
• The rgmanager init script now displays an appropriate message when

rgmanager fails to startup.

• A bug was fixed which caused a VIP to be started only if it was added on

the node in the same domain as the VIP.

• clustat -x no longer segfaults if rgmanager is not running

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated rgmanager packages, which
resolve these issues.
