Last updated on: 2004-08-20
Affected Products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 2.1)

Details

An updated sysstat package that includes various bug fixes is now avaliable.

Sysstat contains the programs iostat, mpstat, and sar, which are used to
monitor system resource utilization.

This erratum fixes the following errors in the sysstat package:

- unable to display information about devices with high major
device numbers
- file-sz reported by sar -v was wrong
- sar outputs "pgpgout" instead of "pswpout"
- sar cannot handle overflow in the interfaces counters

All users of sysstat should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.


Solution

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

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:
