RHBA-2011:1483 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
device-mapper-multipath bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that fix one bug are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The device-mapper-multipath packages provide tools to manage multipath devices
by using the device-mapper multipath kernel module, as well as by creating and
removing partitions for Device-Mapper devices.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The multipath priority callout programs did not work correctly with CCISS
(Compaq Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support) devices because the multipath
utility was not able to convert the "!" character in the CCISS sysfs name to the
"/" character in the CCISS device name. As a consequence, callout programs
failed to set path priorities for these devices. The underlying code has been
modified, and the multipath utility now supports the new "%c" wildcard for
callout functions, and thus ensures the correct CCISS names conversion.
(BZ#729478)
All users of device-mapper-multipath are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
