1.266.1. RHBA-2011:0755: bug fix and enhancement update

Updated srptools packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.
In conjunction with the kernel ib_srp driver, srptools allows you to discover and use SCSI devices via the SCSI RDMA Protocol over InfiniBand.
The update addresses the following bugs:
  • The srptools package did not include an init script to start the service automatically at system boot up. A new initscript has been added and can now be enabled to start automatically at each boot. (BZ#591169)
  • The srp_daemon does not reconnect to configured targets after several failure scenarios. The newly added initscript that starts the srp_daemon was written with this in mind and will restart the srp_daemon in the event one of these failure scenarios causes it to exit. (BZ#658633, BZ#658674)
Users are advised to upgrade to this package, which resolves these issues and adds these enhancements.
