Cause: The SAPDatabase resource agent shipped with the RHEL HA add-on was out
of sync from the upstream version
Consequence: management of SAP database instances within a cluster could fail
in certain circumstances due to bugs in the SAPDatabase resource agent
Fix: the following patches from upstream were applied:
- High: SAPDatabase: Fixed wrong scope of rc variable in service_start/stop
functions
- High: SAPdatabase: Changed Oracle recovery method from "recover automatic
database" to "end backup"
- High: SAPDatabase: Adapt process search pattern for DB/2 9.5
- Medium: SAPDatabase: start listener only if database processes are found
- Low: SAPDatabase,SAPInstance: improve LD_LIBRARY_PATH processing
- Low: SAPDatabase: remove unnecessary usage of eval to start processes
Result: The patched SAPDatabase resource agent improves the handling of SAP
database instances in a Red Hat cluster environment
