RHBA-2013:0262 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated piranha packages are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Extended Update Support.

Description

Piranha provides high-availability and load balancing services for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. The piranha packages contain various tools to administer and
configure the Linux Virtual Server (LVS), as well as the heartbeat and failover
components. LVS is a dynamically-adjusted kernel routing mechanism that provides
load balancing, primarily for Web and FTP servers.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the pulse daemon did not correctly detect when the lvsd daemon had

been terminated. As a result, the pulse daemon did not trigger a failover. With
this update, the pulse daemon correctly detects when lvsd has been terminated
and, if a backup director is configured and active, will result in a failover.
(BZ#911287)

All users of piranha are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fixes this bug.
