RHBA-2014:1511 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ipvsadm packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ipvsadm packages provide the ipsvadm tool to administer the IP Virtual
Server services offered by the Linux kernel.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the ipvsadm tool did not handle printing of existing sync daemons

correctly under certain circumstances. Consequently, the "ipvsadm --list

• -daemon" command did not report the existence of a backup sync daemon when only

a backup sync daemon was running on a node. A patch has been applied to address
this bug, and "ipvsadm --list --daemon" now correctly shows the backup sync
daemon even if it is the only daemon running. (BZ#1099687)

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

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
