RHBA-2012:0851 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated fcoe-utils packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The fcoe-utils package allows users to use Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).
The package contains the fcoeadm command-line tool for configuring FCoE
interfaces, and the fcoemon service to configure DCB (Data Center Bridging)
Ethernet QoS filters.

The fcoe-utils package has been upgraded to upstream version 1.0.22, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version,
including bash-completion enhancements and changing of the default FCoE
interface names from 'device.vlan-fcoe' to 'device.vlan'. The -f (--fipvlan)
option can be used to apply the previous behavior. (BZ#788511)

This update also fixes the following bug:

• The "service fcoe status" command returned an incorrect return value when the

fcoe service was running. With this update, the underlying code has been
modified and fcoe now returns the correct code under these circumstances.
(BZ#804936)

All users of fcoe-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
