Description Steven J. Levine 2012-02-08 16:52:03 UTC
As per BZ#733298, RHEL 6.3 will allow configuration of Redundant Ring Protocol. As per BZ#758823, there will be updates to the ccs command to account for this. This BZ is to note that this feature will need to be added to the ccs documentation in the Cluster Administration document.

Comment 1 Steven J. Levine 2012-03-13 16:17:32 UTC
Moving this to RHEL 6.4, as per Sayan's instructions:

Let's not document RRP now. We'll will work with our one customer to teach them how to use it.
