Bug Fix Advisory cman-kernel bug fix update

Advisory: RHBA-2009:1237-1
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2009-08-31
Last updated on: 2009-08-31
Affected Products: Cluster Suite EL4.7.z
OVAL: N/A

Details

Updated cman-kernel packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.7, kernel release 2.6.9-78.0.22.EL.

The cman-kernel packages contain modules that allow the cluster manager
(cman) to communicate with the kernel.

The updated packages fix the following bug: "Errors in the cman networking
code which cause the 'CMAN: Initiating transition, generation 18' error."

The updated cman-kernel packages are in sync with the latest kernel
(2.6.9-78.0.22.EL). The modules in earlier cman-kernel packages fail to
load because they do not match the running kernel. It is possible to
force-load the earlier modules; however, force-loading is not necessary
with the updated modules.

Users are advised to upgrade to these latest cman-kernel packages, which
are updated for use with the 2.6.9-78.0.22.EL kernel.


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.
