RHBA-2009:1054 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
piranha bug-fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated piranha packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
Piranha provides high availability and load-balancing services for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. It includes various tools to administer and configure
the Linux Virtual Server (LVS) as well as heartbeating and failover
components. The LVS is a dynamically adjusted kernel routing mechanism that
provides load balancing primarily for Web and FTP servers, though other
services are supported.
This update addresses the following bugs:
- Pulse could crash if a log message was longer than 80 characters.
- Pulse does not correctly monitor links on bonded interfaces.
- Rotated logs of piranha are rotated repeatedly.
Users of Piranha are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
