RHBA-2011:1698 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ricci packages that fix multiple bugs and add one enhancement are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ricci packages contain a daemon and a client for remote configuring and
managing of clusters.

This update provides fixes for the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the ccs_sync utility could not handle IPv6 addresses.

This could prevent the cluster.conf file from being distributed to nodes. The
ccs_sync utility has been modified to be able to recognize and use IPv6
addresses. Now, the cluster.conf file is distributed to all nodes correctly.
(BZ#697493)

• The ccs tool did not add or list virtual machine services correctly when using

the "ccs --addresource" command. This was caused by the virtual machine resource
being incorrectly added in the "resources" tag instead of the "rm" tag. This
problem has been fixed and virtual machine services are now added directly in
the "rm" tag when using the ccs tool. (BZ#718230)

• Prior to this update, the /usr/share/ccs/cluster.rng schema file did not

contain definition of the "suborg" option for the fence_cisco_ucs agent. As a
consequence, the cluster.conf file was not changed when adding a fencing
instance definition with the "suborg" option. With this update, the cluster.rng
schema has been modified to match the schema present in the cman package.
(BZ#725722)

• Previous versions of ricci did not require the modcluster package even though

it was needed for ricci to work correctly. With this update, ricci now requires
modcluster to be installed. (BZ#721109)

In addition, this update provides the following enhancement:

• The ccs utility can now parse metadata in /usr/share/cluster and lists all the

services and fence devices available, as well as their options. (BZ#696901)

All users of ricci are advised to upgrade to these updated ricci packages, which
fix these bugs and add this enhancement.
