RHBA-2010:0414 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
openais bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated openais packages that resolve a bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.3 Extended Update Support.
Description
The Application Interface Specification (AIS) is an API and set of policies
for developing applications that maintain service during faults. The
OpenAIS Standards Based Cluster Framework is an OSI-certified
implementation of the Service Availability Forum AIS. The openais packages
contain the openais executable, OpenAIS service handlers, default
configuration files and init script.
These updated openais packages provide fixes for the following bug:
- incorrect information was used to determine the range checked for missing
messages. Consequently, when a multicast message was not received by a node
in the cluster at the end of the total order, the protocol used in openais
failed to recover this last message. This most often occurred on lightly
loaded bonded networks and presented the message "FAILED TO RECV" in the
system logs. This update corrects the retransmit list range, which ensures
retransmission requests for messages missing on the local processor are
sent. (BZ#577885)
All OpenAIS users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolves
this issue.
