Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated rhr2 packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
The Red Hat Hardware Test suite (rhr2) is a set of tests used to help
determine whether a hardware platform can be supported by Red Hat. It
includes infrastructure, tests and external utilities.
Bugs fixed in these packages include:
- MEMORY2 segfaults on machines with more than 4GB RAM
- MEMORY2 scalability fixes for large memory machines
- MEMORY2 fixes for i386 hugemem systems
- MEMORY test fails to run
- INFO fails on machines using 'largesmp' kernel
- CORE2 does not run properly if rsh server is not running
- CORE2 clock test fails on large SMP / NUMA machines
- CORE2 clock test fails on RHEL3
- STORAGE2 fails on cciss devices
- STORAGE2 failures on machines with multiple disks
- TAPE hardware.out contains no data
Users of rhr2 should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these
issues.
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.
