Topic

Updated fence-agents packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Red Hat fence agents are a collection of scripts for handling remote power
management for cluster devices. They allow failed or unreachable nodes to be
forcibly restarted and removed from the cluster.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, fencing a Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster node with the

fence_soap_vmware fence agent running in a virtual machine on VMWare could fail
with the following error message:

KeyError: 'config.uuid'

This was because the fence agent was not able to work with more than one hundred
machines in a cluster. With this update, the underlying source code has been
modified to support fencing of such clusters. (BZ#814843)

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

Solution

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

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