the network to act as a debuginfo/compiler server for local SystemTap clients. The clients
auto-locate the server using mDNS (avahi), and only need the system tap-client and
system tap-runtim e packages to work.
At present, this feature does not use security mechanisms like encryption. As such, it is
advisable to use remote compilation services only within trusted networks. For more
information, refer to m an stap-server.
The kernel update for this release includes a kernel API extension that significantly
improves shutdown of SystemT ap scripts. This added kernel API extension eliminates
unnecessary synchronization between individual probe removal operations. As a result,
SystemTap scripts that have hundreds of kernel probes are processed much faster.
This is especially useful for administrators that use scripts with probes containing wildcards
that capture numerous kernel events, such as probe syscall.* {}.

Cluster Manager Update
The Cluster Manager utility (cman) has been updated to version 2.0.97. This applies several
bug fixes and enhancements, most notably:
cman now uses the following firmware versions: APC AOS v3.5.7 and APC rpdu v3.5.6. This
fixes a bug that prevented the APC 7901 from using simple network management protocol
(SNMP) properly.
fence_drac, fence_ilo, fence_egenera, and fence_bladecenter agents now
support ssh.
fence_xvmd key files can now be reloaded without restarting.
A single fence method can now support up to 8 fence devices.
RPM Re- Base
The RedHat Package Manager (RPM) is now re-based to the Fedora 9 upstream version.
rpm now adds secondary architecture-specific macro files on multi-arch systems. In addition,
rpm now meets all certification criteria for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update also applies several upstream enhancements and bug fixes to rpm, including:
rpm no longer generates unnecessary .rpm new and .rpm save files on multi-arch
systems.
A bug in the rpmgiNext() function of rpm prevented proper error reporting. This update
applies the proper semantics for error reporting, thereby ensuring that rpm returns the
correct exit code in all instances.
Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) / opensm
opensm has been updated to the upstream version 3.2, including a minor change to the
opensm library API.
The format of the opensm.conf file has changed. If you have made custom modifications
to your existing opensm.conf, rpm will automatically install the new opensm.conf file as
/etc/ofed/opensm .conf.rpm new. You will need to migrate your modifications to this
file and then replace the existing opensm.conf file with the result.
