Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated fcoe-utils packages that fix multiple bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The fcoe-utils packages provide Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) utilities,
such as the fcoeadm command line tool for configuring FCoE interfaces, and the
fcoemon service to configure DCB Ethernet QOS filters.
The fcoe-utils packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.0.24, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
This update also fixes the following bug:
- When turning off DCB on a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) initiator
interface connected to a Cisco Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF), the fcoemon
utility disabled the interface but the FCoE interface was re-enabled by a
Netlink event before DCB was operational again. Consequently, the interface did
not operate in degraded mode with LUNS present as expected and the output of the
"ip l" and "fcoeadm -i" commands was contradictory. A patch has been applied to
the fcoemon utility to ensure DCB is operational again before enabling the FCoE
interface when a link is brought up. In addition, a patch has been applied to
fcoe-utils to improve error handling and error messages related to creating and
deleting of FCoE interfaces when DCB is not ready. (BZ#867117)
This update also adds the following enhancement:
- Support for VLAN notification with VLAN ID 0 has been added. If a VLAN
notification has the tag "VLAN 0", the physical port will now be activated. The
VLAN interface will not be created but FCoE will be started on the physical
interface itself. (BZ#826291)
All users of fcoe-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
