Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated piranha packages that fix two bugs 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 bugs:

• Previously, the lvsd daemon did not properly activate the "sorry server"
  fallback service when all real servers were unavailable. Consequently, incoming
  traffic for a virtual service with no available real servers was not directed to
  "sorry server". This bug has been fixed and the lvsd daemon now properly
  activates "sorry server" when no real servers are available. (BZ#903711)
  
• In certain cases, most often caused by brief network outages, high latency
  between directors, or aggressive keepalive and deadtime settings, the lvsd
  daemon did not properly terminate when signaled by the pulse daemon.
  Consequently, lvsd ran on both master and backup directories having multiple
  virtual IPs (VIPs). With this update, lvsd has been modified to correctly catch
  and handle all signals from the pulse daemon. As a result, the redundant VIP is
  now properly removed. (BZ#980169)
  

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