RHBA-2012:1189 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cluster and gfs2-utils packages that fix one bug are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.

Description

The Red Hat Cluster Manager is a collection of technologies working together to
provide data integrity and the ability to maintain application availability in
the event of a failure. Using redundant hardware, shared disk storage, power
management, and robust cluster communication and application failover
mechanisms, a cluster can meet the needs of the enterprise market.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, it was not possible to specify start-up options to the

dlm_controld daemon. As a consequence, certain features were not working as
expected. With this update, it is possible to use the /etc/sysconfig/cman
configuration file to specify dlm_controld start-up options, thus fixing this
bug. (BZ#849047)

All users of cluster and gfs2-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix this bug.
