Synopsis
librtas enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated librtas packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The librtas packages contain a set of libraries that allow access to the
Run-Time Abstraction Services (RTAS) on 64-bit PowerPC architectures. The
librtasevent library contains definitions and routines for analyzing RTAS
events.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- This update adds support for a user space solution for Dynamic Memory Affinity
via the PRRN interface. When an affinity for a partition changes as a result of
system optimization, the impacted partition will be notified through an
event-scan RTAS call that the affinity properties of the partitions have
changed. As a result, the partition is expected to refresh its affinity strings
through existing RTAS/hidden h_calls. (BZ#985850)
Users of librtas are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add
this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
