Removing telnet without impacting a Red Hat High Availability cluster in RHEL 8
Issue
- Can I remove the
telnet
package without impacting the cluster? - While trying to remove the
telnet
package,yum
warned me that it would remove all the fence agents if I proceeded. - Why is
telnet
a dependency for fence agents?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8
- High Availability Add-On
- One or more fence agents installed that depend on
telnet
