RHBA-2012:0505 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cman packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

Description

The Cluster Manager (cman) utility provides user-level services for managing a
Linux cluster.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, cman did not handle idle connection timeout correctly when fencing

a cluster node. Consequently, a connection to a fence device timed out and
fencing failed if the "delay" option was set to more than 5 seconds. With this
update, the "delay" option is applied before the connection is opened and the
fencing thus no longer fails in this scenario. (BZ#811939)

All users of cman are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
