RHBA-2013:1131 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cman packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

Description

The Cluster Manager (cman) utility provides user-level services for managing a
Linux cluster.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Due to incorrect detection of newline characters during an SSH connection, the

fence_drac5 agent could terminate the connection with a traceback error when
fencing a Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster node. Only the first fencing action
completed successfully but the status of the node was not checked correctly.
Consequently, the fence agent failed to report successful fencing. When the
"reboot" operation was called, the node was only powered off. With this update,
the newline characters are correctly detected and fencing works as expected.
(BZ#986981)

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