RHBA-2011:1595 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated rgmanager package that fixes various bugs and adds one enhancement is
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rgmanager package contains the Red Hat Resource Group Manager, which
provides the ability to create and manage high-availability server applications
in the event of system downtime.

The rgmanager package has been upgraded to upstream version 3.0.12.1, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Note
that this update requires the resource-agents package in version 3.9.2 or later.
(BZ#707118)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

• When handling failed services, the "clusvcadm -d" command now operates

consistently. (BZ#673167)

• Exclusive prioritization now operates on service failures instead of only on

node failures. (BZ#690191)

• The rgmanager service no longer terminates unexpectedly with a segmentation

fault when a resource agent provides invalid or corrupted metadata. (BZ#692895)

• Reference count handling of resources with multiple instances has been

corrected. (BZ#709398)

• An error in handling of independent subtree failures, which caused more

resources to be disabled than necessary, has been fixed. (BZ#716231)

• The rgmanager service no longer terminates unexpectedly on startup/shutdown or

during service relocation. (BZ#697446, BZ#741607)

As well, this update adds the following enhancement:

• The rgmanager service can now be disabled in the cluster.conf configuration

file. (BZ#723925)

All users of rgmanager are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes these bugs and adds this enhancement.
