This is a mandatory patch for the Backbone Fabric Controller (BFC) shipped with AppLogic-3.0
This has been added to the release notes for BFC here:
http://doc.3tera.com/AppLogic30/en/Release_Notes/index.htm?toc.htm?1863461.html
This patch addresses a situation where, in very rare cases, an entire grid (including all of its associated data) can be deleted by the Backbone Fabric Controller (BFC).
The following steps may trigger this bug:
You halt the grid’s servers without taking the grid offline in the BFC.
After the servers are offline, you attempt to stop the grid from the BFC.
After these steps, in some cases the grid and all of its data are deleted.
The patch for SCR 5726 should be applied to all 3.0.X installations of the Backbone Fabric Controller.
Dependencies:
none
Installation:
Download the patch using the instructions in the overview topic above, then run one of the following commands:
If you installed the BFC in the install location (/opt/bfc), run the following command:
rpm -iv --replacefiles bfc-patch-bug5726-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
If you installed the BFC in an alternate location, run the following command:
rpm -iv --replacefiles --prefix <non-standard BFC install location>-utilityimage bfc-patch-bug5726-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Note:
After you install the patch, the BFC service is stopped. You must manually restart the BFC using the 'service bfc start' command.
