RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Milan P. Gandhi 2015-12-16 05:07:40 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1291966 +++

Document URL:

RHEL 7 High Availability Add-On Administration guide:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/High_Availability_Add-On_Administration/index.html#s1-clusterinstall-HAAA

Section Number and Name: 
 ⁠
1.1. Cluster Software Installation

Describe the issue: 

In above section of HA Add-On administration guide, there is following command given to install cluster packages:

<snip>
1. On each node in the cluster, install the Red Hat High Availability Add-On software packages along with all available fence agents from the High Availability channel.

	# yum install pcs fence-agents-all
<snip>

Above command is missing the other package names viz. pacemaker, corosync. These two core packages are also required for cluster:

Suggestions for improvement: 

The correct list of packages required to be installed for configuring cluster would be:

	# yum install pacemaker corosync fence-agents-all pcs

Additional information:
Comment 2 Milan P. Gandhi 2015-12-16 06:31:32 UTC 
There is a similar issue present in "⁠1.1. Installing Pacemaker configuration tools" section of following RHEL 6 pacemaker cluster admin guide:

"Configuring_the_Red_Hat_High_Availability_Add-On_with_Pacemaker"
 ⁠1.1. Installing Pacemaker configuration tools
 https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Configuring_the_Red_Hat_High_Availability_Add-On_with_Pacemaker/index.html#s1-installation-HAAR


So, cloned this BZ from BZ#1291967

In above section of HA Add-On administration guide, there is following command given to install cluster packages:

<snip>
You can use the following yum install command to install the Red Hat High Availability Add-On software packages along with all available: fence agents from the High Availability channel.

	# yum install pcs fence-agents
<snip>

Above command is missing the other package names viz. pacemaker, corosync, cman. These core packages are also required for cluster:

Suggestions for improvement: 

The correct list of packages required to be installed for configuring cluster would be:

	# yum install pacemaker corosync cman fence-agents pcs
Comment 5 Chris Feist 2016-04-11 20:06:40 UTC 
For RHEL6, pcs does not require pacemaker, so we should modify the line to change from this:

yum install pcs fence-agents

to this:

yum install pcs pacemaker fence-agents

Thanks,
Chris
Comment 6 Chris Feist 2016-04-11 20:34:30 UTC 
Correction, the command should be 'yum install pcs pacemaker cman fence-agents'

Thanks,
Chris
Comment 7 Steven J. Levine 2016-04-11 20:41:40 UTC 
This update is now in the RHEL 6.8 document draft and will be corrected in the RHEL 6.8 release.
