RHBA-2010:0297 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated piranha packages that fix several 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 the heartbeat and failover
components. LVS is a dynamically-adjusted kernel routing mechanism that
provides load balancing, primarily for Web and FTP servers.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Stopping pulse service does not stop service monitors. In this updated

package, pulse will stop all service monitors. (BZ#522230)

• Nanny does not work with port different than 80 when monitoring is not

provided. In this updated package, nanny works correctly. (BZ#533113)

• Nanny does not set port on real server correctly if port on LVS is not

80. In this update package, nanny set port correctly.(BZ#549738)

• Pulse does not activate sorry server when all real servers are down. In

this updated package, pulse will activate sorry server when
needed.(BZ#566140)

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