Bug Fix Advisory ccs bug fix update

Advisory: RHBA-2008:0114-7
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2008-03-14
Last updated on: 2008-03-14
Affected Products: Cluster Suite EL4
OVAL: N/A

Details

Updated ccs packages that fix a bug are now available.

The ccs packages contain the Cluster Configuration System (ccs), which
provides the ability for nodes to obtain information about the cluster, and
other nodes in that cluster.

Running ccs on PowerPC based clusters interfered with clusters running on
different architectures, on the same subnet. The ccs daemon (ccsd) could
consume approximately 90% of CPU and memory resources, resulting in a
performance drop for nodes, to the point where the "cman_tool join" command
failed due to timeouts.

Users of ccs are advised to upgrade to these 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.
