Synopsis

fence-agents enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

An updated fence-agents package that adds support for new hardware and Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization is now available.

Description

Red Hat fence agents are a collection of scripts to handle remote power
management for several devices. They allow failed or unreachable nodes to be
forcibly restarted and removed from the cluster.

This update adds the following enhancements:

• The package has been updated to provide a fencing agent that is able to
  communicate with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, allowing virtual
  machines to be fenced. (BZ#642695)
  
• For Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) devices, the "power_wait"
  delay can now be adjusted in order to support newer iLO 3 firmware. (BZ#643340)
  
• Brocade 200E, Brocade 300, Brocade 4100, Brocade 4900, and Brocade 5100
  fencing devices are now supported by the fence_brocade agent, and can be used
  with both Red Hat High Availability and Red Hat Resilient Storage. (BZ#643515)
  

All users requiring any of the features listed above are advised to upgrade to
this new package, which adds these enhancements.
