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 Jan Friesse 2010-11-25 16:04:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
RHEL 6.0 currently doesn't contain any tool for testing IP multicast functionality. This is problem for (specially) Corosync users (so whole RHCS). There is currently bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543938 for creation of such tool.

Tool is now in Fedora Rawhide and Fedora 14 named as omping, maintained by me (FAS honzaf). Original Fedora spec review bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656855

SPEC and SRPM for review:
SPEC: http://honzaf.fedorapeople.org/omping/omping.spec
SRPM: http://honzaf.fedorapeople.org/omping/omping-0.0.1-2.fc14.src.rpm

Cause:
RHEL 6 repos doesn't contain any tool for checking multicast communications.

Consequence:
This may lead to problems if customer want to use Corosync (RHCS) and their network equipment/OS Firewall is badly configured. Corosync (RHCS) doesn't work and customer has no idea why.

Fix:
Implementation of tool to test IP multicast communication.

Result:
Customer/GSS can test multicast and should be able to find out enough informations to decide, if problem is hidden in network configuration or it's different problem (like bug)
