New libaio package is available for the Itanium Processor architecture

A libaio package is now available for the Itanium Processor (IA64)
architecture which provides the Linux-native asynchronous I/O facility.

Linux-native asynchronous I/O (libaio) was not previously available for Red
Hat Advanced Server 2.1 for the Itanium Processor (IA64) architecture.

Users of Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 who want to take advantage of
this capability are advised to install the new libaio packages.

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.
