Bug Fix Advisory openib bug fix update

Advisory: RHBA-2008:0565-2
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2008-07-11
Last updated on: 2008-07-11
Affected Products: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server)
OVAL: N/A

Details

Updated OpenFabrics Alliance packages that fix various bugs are now available.

The OpenFabrics Alliance Enterprise Distribution (OFED) is a collection of
Infiniband and iWARP hardware diagnostic utilities, the Infiniband fabric
management daemon, Infiniband/iWARP kernel module loader, and libraries and
development packages for writing applications that use Remote Direct Memory
Access (RDMA) technology. Red Hat Enterprise Linux uses the OFED software
stack as its complete stack for Infiniband/iWARP/RDMA hardware support.

These updated packages address the following bugs:

* the libsdp package in the 5.2 update was missing an epoch entry and did
not update the existing 5.1 libsdp package as a result. The missing entry
is now included within these packages, allowing for 5.1 libsdp packages to
be successfully updated.

* when upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 to Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.2 via the yum repository, a circular obsoletes error would result
in the mstflint, perftest, and tvflash packages repeatedly replacing and
being replaced by the openib-mstflint, openib-perftest, and openib-tvflash
packages. This circular obsoletes problem is corrected iwith this update.

All Infiniband/iWARP hardware users are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages which correct these issues.
