rgmanager bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rgmanager packages that fix several bugs and add one enhancement are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The rgmanager packages contain the Red Hat Resource Group Manager, which is used
to create and manage high-availability server applications in the event of
system downtime.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• When a cluster configuration file was invalid, an attempt to run the "clustat"
  command failed with a segmentation fault. This bug has been fixed with this
  update and "clustat" no longer crashes in the described scenario. (BZ#853083)
  
• Previously, the cluster services file system failed over from one node to
  another if the /tmp/ directory filled up. A patch has been provided to fix this
  bug and cluster services no longer fail over. (BZ#997546)
  
• Recent changes in the lvm_by_lv script introduced a bug that caused all
  Logical Volume Management (LVM) status checks to fail. Consequently, when using
  high availability LVM (HA-LVM) with tagging made by LV, multiple warning and
  error messages were emitted while attempting to start a configured LVM resource.
  The LVM resource subsequently failed to start with a "vg/lv should not be
  active" error message. With this update, lvm_by_lv has been modified to remove
  white spaces from lvm commands that determine the resource owner. LVM status
  checks now succeed as expected and LVM resources are started properly.
  (BZ#1016784)
  
• Due to a syntax error in the underlying source code, the "find" command failed
  to find files whose names ended with the ".img" suffix. This update applies a
  patch to fix this bug and the command now works as expected. (BZ#1020279)
  
• If the "listener_name" attribute was omitted for the oracledb.sh resource
  agent script, the oracledb resources failed to start. With this update,
  oracledb.sh has been modified to operate correctly when no "listener_name" is
  given, and thus now starts as expected. (BZ#1022723)
  
• In certain environments, the hard-coded sleep time used in the agent process
  before trying to connect to the postmaster process was not long enough. As a
  consequence, the postgres-8 service terminated unexpectedly. With this update,
  the postgres-8.sh script has been modified to allow users to configure the sleep
  time according to their needs. (BZ#1035023)
  
• Under certain conditions, the postgres-8 service did not shut down gracefully
  and left the PID file populated. Consequently, the service failed to start after
  the reboot. The underlying source code has been modified and postgres-8 now
  works as expected. (BZ#1035034)
  
• Previously, the oralistener resource agent failed to stop when the listener
  process was no longer running. This update provides a patch to fix this bug and
  oralistener works correctly in the described scenario. (BZ#1047989)
  

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• This update adds the possibility to specify the "timeout" parameter for the
  Xen virtual machines when using the "xm" command. (BZ#924694)
  

Users of rgmanager are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add this enhancement.
