RHBA-2005:765 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
redhat-config-cluster bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated Red Hat Cluster Manager (redhat-config-cluster) package that
fixes a code defect is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
Description
Red Hat Cluster Manager provides high availability of critical server
applications in the event of planned or unplanned system downtime.
Bugs in Red Hat Cluster Manager have been discovered and addressed since
the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, including:
- Fixed the inability of redhat-config-cluster to follow sym links to the
cluster.xml file.
Performing a Cluster Upgrade
This erratum can be upgraded in a "rolling" fashion. That is, it is
possible to upgrade the cluster software without taking the cluster
offline. These fixes are in the UI code, which will not affect a running
cluster.
Steps (with all cluster members running):
(1) Run 'rpm -Uvh [filename]' on all cluster members.
All users of redhat-config-cluster with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 should
upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
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.
If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:
