RHBA-2013:0469 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated clustermon packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The clustermon packages provide the modclusterd daemon, which is a service for
remote cluster management. Modclusterd serves as an abstraction of the cluster
status that utilizes other clustermon parts exposed through conga, the Simple
Network Management (SNMP), and Common Information Model (CIM).

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the dynamic library that represents the CIM provider of

a cluster status was not built with all the required dependencies and therefore
certain symbols could not be resolved. As a consequence, the cluster status
could not be accessed via CIM. This update adds the missing dependencies to the
dynamic library. Now, the cluster status is accessible as expected. (BZ#865588)

• Prior to this update, the size of XML-formatted cluster configuration (as in

cluster.conf file) greater than 200 kB might have crashed modcluster, a program
assisting the ricci daemon in handling the cluster configuration file
(cluster.conf), or modclusterd, a daemon providing cluster status. This update
drops this restriction and both executables no longer abort with larger
configurations. (BZ#885830)

All users of clustermon are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.

Solution

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

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