RHBA-2013:0576 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated piranha packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

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 lvsd daemon did not properly activate the sorry server

fallback service when all real servers were determined to be unavailable. As a
result, incoming traffic for a virtual service with no available real servers
were not directed to the sorry server. With this update, the lvsd daemon
properly activates the sorry server when no real servers are available.
(BZ#915584)

Users of piranha are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
