Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated powerpc-utils package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The powerpc-utils package contains utilities for PowerPC platform.
This updated powerpc-utils package fixes the following bug:
- Removing DLPAR (Dynamic Logical Partitioning) memory caused the kernel to
panic due to improper handling of the memory off-lining procedure. This update
corrects the code so that drmgr, the dynamic memory manager, now properly
off-lines memory, with the result that removing DLPAR memory no longer causes a
kernel crash. (BZ#702566)
All PowerPC users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
