Bug Fix Advisory rgmanager bug fix and enhancement update

Advisory: RHBA-2010:0647-1
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2010-08-25
Last updated on: 2010-08-25
Affected Products: RHEL Clustering (v. 5 server)

Details

Updated rgmanager packages that provide a fix for a bug and add an enhancement
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The rgmanager packages contain the Red Hat Resource Group Manager, which
provides the ability to create and manage high-availability server applications
in the event of system downtime.

This update provides a fix for the following bug:

* previously, clusters failed to recover from clurgmgrd crash. With this update,
the rgmanager watchdog process now uses a more robust method to reboot the
machine if the main rgmanager process crashes. (BZ#609182)

This update contains also the following enhancement:

* previously, vm.sh only checked the status of the VM itself, not the status of
any services inside. With this update, administrators may now use a newly
provided status check program which checks the availability of services within
virtual machines running Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. Timeouts for
starting and stopping virtual machines are now configurable in cluster.conf. The
start timeout is based on the status check program. (BZ#594476)

All users of Red Hat Resource Group Manager are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which address this issue and add this enhancement.
