fence-agents bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated fence-agents packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The fence-agents packages provide a collection of scripts for handling remote
power management for cluster devices. They allow failed or unreachable nodes to
be forcibly restarted and removed from the cluster.

The fence-agents packages have been upgraded to upstream version 4.0.15, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version,
including:

• This update adds the "--tls1.0" option to the fence agent for HP Integrated
  Lights-Out 2 (iLO2) devices. With this option, iLO2 negotiation of the TLS
  protocol works as expected when using an iLO2 device with firmware version 2.27.
  

• The fence_kdump agent now supports the "monitor" action, making integration
  with a cluster stack easier.
  
• The fence-agents packages now support the fence_ilo_moonshot fence agent for
  HP Moonshot iLO devices. For information on the fence_ilo_moonshot parameters,
  see the fence_ilo_moonshot(8) man page.
  
• This update adds support for the fence_ilo_ssh fence agent. The agent logs
  into an iLO device using SSH and reboots a specified outlet. For information on
  the fence_ilo_ssh parameters, see the fence_ilo_ssh(8) man page.
  
• This update adds support for the fence_mpath fence agent. This agent is an I/O
  fencing agent that uses SCSI-3 persistent reservations to control access to
  multipath devices. For information on fence_mpath and its parameters, see the
  fence_mpath(8) man page.
  
• The fence agent for APC devices over Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
  has been updated to support the latest versions of the APC firmware.
  
• This update adds support for the fence_emerson fencing agent for Emerson
  devices over Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). It is an I/O fencing
  agent that can be used with the MPX and MPH2 Emerson devices. For information on
  the parameters for the fence_emerson fencing agent, see the fence_emerson(8) man
  page.
