Synopsis
device-mapper-multipath bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that resolve an issue are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The device-mapper-multipath packages provide tools to manage multipath devices
by giving the "dm-multipath" kernel module instructions on what to do, as well
as by managing the creation and removal of partitions for Device-Mapper devices.
These updated device-mapper-multipath packages fix the following bug:
- When all paths of a pathgroup with set group_by_prio were restored after a
failure, multipathd could place some paths into a wrong pathgroup. This issue
occurred, because the daemon checked if pathgroups needed reconfiguration only
if a path priority changed. When the original paths were restored, they could
have been assigned the same priority as before the failure. In such case the
paths were incorrectly left in a wrong pathgroup. With this update, when
checking if it needs to recalculate the pathgroups, the multipathd daemon
refreshes and checks all priorities once a new path becomes available and places
recovered paths into the correct pathgroup. (BZ#658937)
All users of device-mapper-multipath are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
