RHBA-2013:0287 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cluster and gfs2-utils packages that fix multiple bugs and add various
enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

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

mechanisms, a cluster can meet the needs of the enterprise market.

These updated cluster and gfs2-utils packages include numerous bug fixes and
enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory.
