RHBA-2009:0101 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated rgmanager package that fixes several bugs and adds enhancements
is now available.

Description

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

This updated package applies the following bug fixes:

• HA LVM now prevents users from running with an invalid configuration.
• HA LVM now looks in the correct location for initrd on the ia64 architecture.
• The ip.sh script now recognizes other interfaces besides eth* to using

with bonding.

• rgmanager no longer leaks file descriptors potentially causing issues

with SELinux.

• ip.sh now properly sets the netmask if none is provided.
• rgmanager now detects restricted failover domain crashes.
• Mountpoints from cluster.conf which have symbolic links no longer cause

errors or warnings.

• ip.sh will now work with xen bridges on bonded interfaces
• On a cluster node when a rgmanager resource IP is a substring of the

broadcast IP, stopping or relocating the service will bring down the
interface. This has been fixed.

• IPv6 connectivity is no longer removed when removing an IPv6 address.
• rgmanager now waits for a fence domain join before starting.
• manpage for clusvcadm is no longer missing the description for the '-M'

option.

• The tomcat resource agent now properly handles names with spaces.
• nfsclient.sh can now handle hostnames instead of just IP addresses in hosts.
• The postgres-8.sh resource agent now works properly.
• The fuser.sh script has been modified to properly accept output from the

fuser command.

Also, This updated package adds the following enhancements:

• Sybase failover agent has been added.
• The ip.sh sleep delay can now be changed through a tunable parameter.
• The HA LVM server will now relocate it it loses connection to the SAN.
• Timeouts have been added on stop and start actions.
• It is now possible to restart rgmanager without forcing a migration of

all services.

• Status checks can now be frozen on a per service basis.
• Xen migration can now take place over networks that are not used for

clustering.

Users of rgmanager are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues and adds these enhancements.
