4.145. piranha
An updated piranha package that fixes two bugs and adds one enhancement is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Piranha provides high-availability and load balancing services for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The piranha package contains various tools to administer and configure the Linux Virtual Server (LVS), as well as the heartbeat and failover components. LVS is a dynamically-adjusted kernel routing mechanism that provides load balancing, primarily for Web and FTP servers.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#708035
- Previously, the piranha-gui utility reported an HTTP 414 error (Request-URI Too Long) if too many virtual servers were defined. As a consequence, when trying to edit a virtual server, the "Too many arguments in the URL" error message appeared. With this update, the number of defined virtual servers does not affect the length of the URI and error messages are no longer reported.
- BZ#725367
- Previously, the pulse service did not correctly stop the ipvsadm sync daemon due to incorrect ipvsadm syntax. As a consequence, multiple sync daemons existed after restarting the pulse. With this update, the correct syntax is used. The pulse service now stops all the sync daemons, and exactly one master sync daemon and one backup sync daemon exist at any given time.
Enhancement
- BZ#698505
- This update adds the 255.255.254.0 network mask to the piranha-gui drop-down menus.
All users of piranha are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs and adds this enhancement.
