RHBA-2013:1849 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated pcs packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The pcs packages provide a command-line tool to configure and manage the
Pacemaker and Corosync tools.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the pcs tool was unable to set the UID and GID options

to allow non-root users access to the Corosync Cluster Engine. This bug has been
fixed and pcs can now set UID and GID options. As a result, non-root users can
now access the Corosync Cluster Engine. (BZ#1038476)

• Prior to this update, the "pcs cluster standby" command failed to execute,

displaying an error message. As a consequence, the pcs tool did not allow valid
nodes to be put into standby mode. This bug has been fixed and now valid cluster
nodes can now be put into standby mode. (BZ#1032159)

• Prior to this update, the pcs tool did not allow valid nodes to be added to

fence levels without using the "--force" option. This bug has been fixed and pcs
can now add valid cluster nodes into fence levels. (BZ#1038477)

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