RHBA-2014:0002 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cman packages that fix two bugs 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 bugs:

• Due to a regression, the fence_bladecenter fence agent was not able to login

to fence devices. The login code for fencing.py has been fixed, and a fence
agent now logins to fence devices as expected. (BZ#1043484)

• Previously, under some circumstances on a two-node cluster, both cluster nodes

could be granted a lock on the same file at the same time on a GFS2 (Global File
System 2) file system. A patch has been provided to fix this bug. With this
update, only one cluster node is able to lock the file, the other cluster node
waits till the lock is released. (BZ#1043358)

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