Synopsis
iscsi-initiator-utils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated iscsi-initiator-utils packages that fix multiple bugs are now available.
Description
The iscsi packages provides the server daemon for the Internet Small Computer
System Interface (iSCSI) protocol, as well as the utility programs used to
manage it. iSCSI is a protocol for distributed disk access using SCSI commands
sent over Internet Protocol networks.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, devices for Device-Mapper Multipath(dm-multipath) and the logical
volume manager (LVM) were not cleanly shutdown when they contained iSCSI
devices. With this update, the iSCSI init script now shuts down devices for
dm-multipath and LVM before the iSCSI service stops. (BZ#212265)
- Previously, the iSCSI shutdown process could take a long time when
dm-multipath was used with iSCSI devices. This update improves the iSCSI
shutdown process has been improved and the shutdown time is reduced. (BZ#493585)
- Previously, the iSCSI init script had a undocumented debug option that did not
work. This update removes this redundant option from the list of options to
prevent confusion. (BZ#553729)
All iSCSI users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
