Return to CHANGELOG CVS log

Up to [Development] / projects / failsafe / FailSafe

Enhanced Apache resource type:

- Now looks for httpd binary also in $server_root/bin/httpd & ../sbin/httpd,
  as well as /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd

- If a apache_profile.sh exists under the $server_root or $server_root/conf,
  it will be sourced by the agent; this can be used to set resource limits,
  environment variables etc.

2002-05-09:

- Fixing drbd resource type to work with drbd 0.6.1-pre10; patch provided and
  tested by "Martin Bene" <martin.bene@icomedias.com>

- Fixed filesystem and ICP_volume agent to auto-detect the location of the
  fuser command, based on a suggestion by Martin.

- Enhanced Apache resource type:
  - Now looks for httpd binary also in $server_root/bin/httpd & ../sbin/httpd,
    as well as /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
  - If a apache_profile.sh exists under the $server_root or $server_root/conf,
    it will be sourced by the agent; this can be used to set resource limits,
    environment variables etc.

2002-05-07:

- Version upgraded to 1.0.3

- Updated ChangeLog (duh, sorry for the long lag); the following list tries to
  summarize the changes since:
  
- Fixed srmd not restarting correctly in some error cases.

- Fixed srmd to not mask signals for child processes.

- Fixed cdbd compatibility issues with glibc 2.2.4 threading, based on a fix
  helpfully suggested by Oliver Jehle <oliver.jehle@monex.li>
  
- Compile fix for gcc3

- Added a ping_wrapper to mask incompatibilities of ping options on different
  Linux distributions
  
- addr_t renamed to cs_addr_t due to a nameclash on S/390 Linux

- Compilation with STONITH support is now default; you'll need 
  heartbeat-stonith installed, see http://www.linux-ha.org/

- Because STONITH doesn't have the same semantics, verifying the STONITH
  device via st_status() every few seconds could lead to false errors;
  most STONITH devices for example cannot be polled from two nodes at once.

  The "pinging" was disabled because of this.
  
- Because of a performance issue in cdbd, querying the resource type
  attributes could take longer than normal during a cdbd resync after a
  failover, leading to timeout errors in the resource scripts; the timeouts
  were appropriately increased.

- Fixes to ha_ifd

- ha(De)Activate now accept "_LOOKMEUP" as a parameter for the cluster /
  machine name for use in init.d scripts.

- Fixes to scriptlib2.sh:
  - Debug mode was added
  - Numerous cleanups and small fixes
  - See README.scriptlib2 for details

- A sleep in resource type creation was reduced from 20 to 5 seconds, greatly
  speeding up cluster creation
  
- Lots of resource types added / modified; please see the resource types for
  the details:
  - Informix
  - NFS was modified to accept a list of hosts which are allowed to mount the
    exported share
  - Oracle
  - IBM DB/2
  - Support for ICP Vortex Clustered RAID controllers
  - LVM volume support
  - SAP DB
  - SAP R/3
  - saprouter
  - lprng
  - Apache
  - IP_address rewritten to use scriptlib2
