Last updated on: 2007-12-20

Details

Updated fence packages that fix a bug are now available.

The fence packages allow failed or unreachable nodes to be forcibly
restarted and removed from the cluster.

The following issue has been addressed in this update:

* fence_scsi now uses node names instead of IP addresses as the basis for
SCSI reservation keys.

All users of fence should upgrade to the updated packages, which resolve
this issue.


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.
