RHBA-2017:3206 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated fence-agents packages that fix one bug 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.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the fence_rhevm utility was not able to request a compatible version of the Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) API due to a hard-coded value in fence_rhevm. Consequently, fence_rhevm failed to fence nodes in a cluster of RHV virtual machines (VMs) and displayed the "Failed: Unable to obtain correct plug status or plug is not available" error message. With this update, the hard-coded value has been changed into a variable, and as a result, the described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1506695)

Users of fence-agents are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
